10 new adopted crabs.

Post by Duane1966 » Sun May 01, 2016 6:25 pm

2 days ago I picked up 10 new purple pinchers hermit crabs from an ad I found on Craigslist. The lady had the crabs for 7 years and didn't lose any crabs. They were very well cared for and are beautiful large crabs in fantastic shells. She included a 40 gallon breeder tank with 3 heaters and everything else needed. Everything was free!!
I was planning to set up a 75 gallon tank that I already have. I also have a 120"gallon with fish in it. The kids are tired of the fish and my wife doesn't want 2 large tanks in the house. So if I can find someone to take the fish (8 chiclids, 3 catfish and a large pleco) I plan on setting up the 120 gallon tank. I should have plenty of room for the 10 new crabs and my 5 little guys, and mayby even room for a couple more adopted crabs if I can find them.
I am going to try to post pics hopefully I can figure out how to do it.
