    Hi all

    recently i developed an interest towards crustaceans. currently i have a pair of blue crays. i am not sure what breed but i heard its electric blue marron. i intend to breed them. the thing is, my male killed the female while she was molting. i just bought another female again. is there any advice on how to handle this? this is my 4th time keep crays. the last 3 times i just put together and they breed. there wasnt any killing. i have sufficient hiding space of them too.

    as for crabs. i am looking for vampire crabs and fiddler. anyone know where i can get them? i heard fiddler no more already, is it illegal to have one in sg?

    thanks!

    Provide more shelter, and avoid water change or disturbing them when moulting. I've had crays before I started bichir for few months

    Fiddler is legal. Just that it is a brackish to marine species, making it harder to keep in the aquarium. Its burrowing habits doesnt make things any easier. Hence it is not so popular and LFSs rarely stock them.

    Yup, freshwater is okay. I guess breeding is relatively easy since i read that they breed without any special care. Apparently they goes through the larvae stage in the egg so they emerge as small size crab unlike my rainbow crab@.@
