Fuu, my female red claw crab, being mean at feeding time as she usually is.

If you need advice, please PM me rather than posting comments here. I am trying to keep the conversation clean and to the topic.

  • What conditions are ur tank? do u need salt in the water? is gravel better then sand? anything about them really! :)

    Thanks

  • @reedyspeedy12 I posted a link to my blog in the video description field where you can read all about the crabs. Pretty much the same information can be used for fiddler crabs as well.

  • hey where can u buy brackish water or the stuff for brackish water?

  • @KingOfHeavenly Google is your friend. Brackishwater is water between freshwater and saltwater, with a concentration of about 2 tablespoons of marine salt per gallon of water.

  • thanks! i have about the same sized tank as yours, but i have freshwater in mine. does anyone know where to get brackish water? ha, i'm clueless! the pet store we went to, the worker, just said to put him in freshwater, but now i'm finding i should put him in brackish? whater that means!

  • Google for information on how to set up brackishwater and, more importantly, how to cycle an aquarium and keep the parameters good. Crabs are very sensitive to ammonia and nitrites. Brackishwater is water between freshwater and marine water. Not fresh, but not too salty. You need to add 2 leveled tablespoons of marine salt (NOT aquarium salt) to 1 gallon of water to make brackishwater good for crabs.

  • An ashy-looking crab can mean it is getting ready to molt. It should grow it's claw back. I hope you have good tank conditions.

  • hey i really need this question answered. i just got my red claw crab yesterday, and he is missing a claw. yet he is very active, but he's not red he's sort of dark brown. are these signs of him being sick? i thought he lost his claw from a fight before i got him, but idk about the color.

  • 10 gallon

  • What size of tank is this?
