Putting Together a Moss Pit

Post by BlitzNeedsBatteries » Fri Sep 14, 2018 5:19 pm

So I’ve had this moss for a while that I’ve been wanting to put into the tank. I just don’t know what to put it in to put into the crabitat. Mind I only have a 10 gallon tank so it has to be small. I’ve only seen the large shower caddies at WalMart but those definitely won’t work. Can I have some suggestions to what I should do?

Perhaps a small plastic container?

Yes, this, attached with suction cups above the substrate so you don’t use up precious ground space? I have a small shower caddy...more the size for a lg bar of soap attached to the side and I wrapped it in craft mesh to make it easier to get in and out along with a piece of cholla leaning against it to climb in and out of. My crabs are pretty small so I don’t need a lg pit yet. I do, however have a moss pile in a corner for my 1 larger crab...it’s right on the substrate and he’s always in there lol

Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely look for something like that soap holder next time I’m shopping.
