Looks great beginning setup! Loads of room, looks like it has fairly deep substrate across. I'm sure they will be happy in the 29g upgrade.

Re: Just started
Are those pictures of the 10G or the 29G?
One or hopefully two Clypeatus
Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.
Crabbing for 4 years!

Re: Just started
They are still in the 10g since they are burrowing still. Unless any suggestions for moving them?

Re: Just started
No. I would just be careful from experience that if you keep an E, you need to be careful of them digging crabs up. My E is very small though, so if he did dig someone up, he most likely could not eat them. My E never dug someone up though.p2gg86 wrote:They are still in the 10g since they are burrowing still.

Re: Just started
I made a mistake there so please void the other message.
Is it meaning that if a big enough E dig up someone they might eat it? Hopefully not!

Re: Just started
When crabs are molting the emit a smell that smells "delicious" to other crabs because the exo contains vital nutrients. Since crabs are scavengers, and thus opportunistic feeders if they come across a molting crab they most certainly will take advantage. Crabs are their most vulnerable when they are soft from a molt, and they are not above cannibalism. Deep substrate helps mask this smell, and also is how they stay safe while molting in the wild, by digging down. Size would not matter because they are literally defenseless when they are soft- large or small.
