Tank size?

This is where you discuss the conditions of your crabitat -- temperature, humidity, substrate, decorating, etc.

Tank size?

Post by Pumpkincrab » Tue Nov 10, 2020 2:10 am

Hi all!
I have a 16gal tote with 1 tiny, 2 small and 1 extra small (not yet tiny, not yet small) crabs.
What would be a good upgrade size tank for them?(or tote size)

Thanks!

What do you plan on in the future? Do you plan on getting more crabs, upgrading in the long term or looking for the 'forever home'?

This will all influence tank size suggestions.


I personally think a tank around a 40g breeder or better yet, a 75g will keep them all happy for the long term and provide enough space to grow into. But you could do a smaller tank, and gradually work your way up if its easier to do so! ^_^
