Are your hc originally emersed or submerged? The hc melting in water may be due to adapting to submerged form . Just need some time to adapt

Emersed, so wait for it to be adapted to water ☺

I'm no expert, but if the stem is rotting from the roots, I don't think it can be saved. I think has to do with the lack of nutrients in the substrate.
Been a while since I updated. Reason was due to a restriction on the max file attachment size, which means I can't attach any more pics.
I had left the tank alone for the past few months as I thought the sole vampire crab left inside had died. Only thing I did was topping up of water every now and then.
It was until last week when I tried to decom the tank that I realized about 10+ baby vampire crabs hiding amongst the dense flora.
I would'nt had seen them if not for one baby that moved.
Upon further inspection I found the mother crab alive under a piece of wood that it had burrowed itself in. I will be leaving the tank as it is for now.
what are you feeding the crabs?
Managed to capture a picture of my 2 male vampire crabs fighting.
Unfortunately, the purple one didn't make it after the furious battle.

Used to keep a couple of frogs too until they got too big and had to be released.

Favourite frog that escaped during CNY weekend and dried up.

Shot of one of the babies. Try to spot it if you can.

For all you vampire crab lovers, here's 2 rare videos of vampire crabs in the wild. Hope this will give you a good idea of their natural environment and requirements.
