So it's best to have the aquarium that's about half full of water with a large pile of Lava Rocks that extends out of the water. These Crabs need a place to get out of the water. If males of this species are kept in the same small aquarium, they will fight, and may harm each other.ĭecor: These Crabs do not need gravel, and a layer of gravel more than 1/4" thick will usually fill with bits of uneaten food that will contaminate the water. We ship them in this water.Īquarium Size: These guys can do well living in a 20-gallon aquarium, but of course bigger is better. Here in our facilities the water is hard and the pH is usually about 7.8. Most water in the US has a high pH and is hard and is good for these crabs, provided some marine salts are added to the water. In fact these Crabs do better in brackish water with some marine salts added. Probably a pH of about 7.8 with high hardness is best. Water Conditions: This Crab can tolerate a wide range of water conditions. Temperature: This Crab can live pretty well from about 70 to 80 degrees F., but they're probably most comfortable from about 75 to 78 degrees F.Ĭlick here to learn about aquarium temperature, aquarium thermometers, and aquarium heaters.Ĭlick here to learn more about and shop online for premium fish foods. īehaviors: They usually stay at the bottom of the aquarium and have quite interesting personalities.Ĭompatibility: Some recommended tank mates include any community fish, but some small fish may be easy for these Crabs to get their claws on so watch out.Ĭlick here to read more about compatible groups of invertebrates.
