Qattarra Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I bought these purple crabs just a while ago. They wont stay put! The third day I went to feed them they were not in their tank. While feeding other tanks I spotted one of them in my krib tank but found the smaller one hadn't made it to a tank. I put the larger one back in his tank and TAPED tinfoil over his tank and then put the lid back on. Only a tiny hole when the corner air filter tube was coming out, which I also taped so he couldn't tear it. Yesturday he was missing again found him in the dovii tank!! At least 5 feet away and on a seperate stand. Fished him out and resealed him in his tank. Today he was gone again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qattarra Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Ok found him. He was in the Acei tank tonight. Sheesh. I had to empty all stones. wood and huts out to get him out this time. He also molted so he must have been feeding well. I have resealed him with mesh and tape this time. Lord only knows how the %^^%^ he is getting out Damed Hoodini. One of his newly sought tankmates will eventually eat him . lol :bang1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Wow he is quite the adventurer! Is the opening to the filter taped up? I had a crayfish that liked to go exploring and I used coroplast(corrugated plastic cardboard stuff) to completely seal off the hood and taped it down. Worked very well and it a bit more permanent then tinfoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
