Ived kept crabs before. Hermit crabs and fiddlers. I always kept them in a group(fiddlers with fiddlers in brackish water, while hermits in a group with land set up).
The longest lasting ones were the fiddlers. lasted two months. I assume they were old. since Ived kept crabs before I know their temperament and activity. I like the activity of the fiddlers. Constantly moving around for a few hours. When I went to puertorico this/last week I went swimming(first time I learnt) so I found the density of the water heavy with salt. I dont know I kept floating? Anywho. To my surprise there were crabs around. Largest one we saw was 7-12inches eye balling it. Their colors blended in with the sand. Also had blue streaks and red streaks on the pincers and blue back legs. I caught a small one(3-4inches) but I let it go. Iam thinking Id like to have a tank for crabs. Does anyone know any long lasting crab that is quite active? I heard about "rainbow crabs" aka patriot crabs aka halloween crabs? Idk But they're supposed to be these large 5-6inch crab that make good pets. Ived seen crabs dubbed halloween crabs in florida walmart o nce. It had a purple top shell and orange arms and red legs?
I was wondering if I could go out to the bay this weekend(tommorrow) and go catch myself a blue crab? If not Id like options?
