Hello, I'm a new crab owner

Post by flapjack » Wed Jan 06, 2016 7:36 pm

My son got a crab for Christmas and I set up a tank for him and bought him some friends. They are fun to watch, and they all do the same thing when I bring a new one home which is interesting and understandable. #1 go hide, #2 go to the saltwater dish, #3 try on some new shells, #4 go hide again, #5 roam around and check things out. We love to watch them do their thing

Welcome! Always good to have more crabbers join :) If you haven't already, check out our basic care guide (viewtopic.php?f=51&t=92457); there are also a lot of detailed, specific care sheets that you can find at viewforum.php?f=51

We always love to see pics of peoples' tanks, so if you have any to share that would be awesome :)
Crabbing since July 2014! 75 gallon with 12 Purple Pinchers.
