HOSStile Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) Neat colour, but the first one looks like "Crab squished by under water lava boulder." Oh and theres this for your affliction. Edited December 7, 2005 by HOSStile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moogled Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 No very, these guys max out at like 1.5 inches. They're mean, pinchy, and will kill fish if they get their claws on them. They scuttle sideways like roaches when startled. I have 5 in a 3 gallon tank, which is stupidly small. I should relocate them, or be ready for some deaths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I would imagine that they also need some space above water to essentially 'dry out'. Most freshwater crabs that I know of, even if considered truly aquatic, end up dying if they don't have some rock or something above water on which to dry a bit (I know the Malawi crabs need this for sure, and it becomes quite the issue b/c they're escape artists as is, and this just made it that much harder to keep them doing well).
