  • um, will shrimp pellets work for my little bros tank? btw, its a preety female crab i got a walmart today and her name is charolate!

  • @sbthomas69 We tried dried shrimp, but they float so that didn't work out. We've been feeding Mr. Crabs regular ol pleco wafers. If the shrimp pellets will sink to the bottom, they will probably do the trick.

  • cute video little girl, glad to see you have such interest in this subject, my fiddler crap keeps escaping lol.

  • @ThePinkispimpin Oh no!! Do you have a lid on the aquarium? We have one but we had to cut a small hole on top get the tubing down to the filter.

  • Good job Kaylee! I think this was a good video espacally for your age!

  • @Dopemop Thanks!! He's still alive and thriving btw.

  • Great vid, I tried these crabs in a tropical fish tank but the cats decided they where play toys. My water level was an inch or 2 lower so as to float some foam borad on the water so the crabs could dry out from time to time.

  • my fiddler crab is in a freshwater tank with no land and he just climbs the heater for air and he been there for 1 year :D

  • @hansices btw, this is Kaylee's mom.

  • @hansices We did sand and it may seem selfish but we replaced it with rocks because the sand was so smelly after a while. He doesn't seem to mind and we gave him more land also but still hides out underneath the live rock 90% of the time. He's a shy guy. 

  • Nice you show some interest for thes magnificent creatures, but these little buddies need more land, and the prefer sand to dig holes in it.
