I saw these at C328 also, there were about 10 left on Saturday, I didn't ask price though, not really in the market for crabs atm.

Also nice scape! what is the pH of your water at?

They are the same price as vampire crabs, as for pH I never tested, but I did put some coral chips in the "pond" to aid the crabs in molting

Um.. ineresting... Then these guys could be the red eye vampires that o was told recently. Can anyone do a positive Id on them?

Hi, those crabs are fiddler crabs, and NEED BRACKISH WATER. i saw them at clementi too and was tempted to buy them. i realise something strange about these crabs, there are no male crabs at all. all the crabs coming in are all female crabs. In the wild fiddler crabs are burrowers, so it would be good to provide something like pvc pipes for them to hide in.

guess what??? I setup another 10in cube tank for my office

this is my "makeshift cubicle"

still don't know what fauna I'm gonna put in it... most probably crab, my latest addiction

**limz_777** · 6th Feb 2010, 16:34

so many tank to look at to de-stress

**dkk08** · 11th Feb 2010, 11:27

after a weekend and 3 days of Leave (to spring clean at home) came back missing my crabs and luckily all of them were happily greeting me with the claws waving

Waving Claw and walking away (new 10in cube tank)

Now he's running!

I'm underwater "You can't see me, You can't see me!" (2ft Terrarium)

Added 2 Neps to the tank but sadly during my absence one of them looks bad sorry Lucas

hi, i see that the distillatoria is dehydrating

just water it as per normal and hope for the best. it may survive, or the main shoot will die and a side shoot will grow.

**dkk08** · 12th Feb 2010, 17:25

Hey Lucas, good news, the Nep. distillatoria seems to be recovering... and I've decided to move both the neps into the "puddle" if not I won't be in office for 4 days to water them
