    Didn't realized your soil was so mossy from the first picture I saw. Is that the way to prevent mold?
    Very nice crab, I like the sulphuric yellow

    I think mold will appear if the microganism isnt balance or have carbon/protein source, I encourage proper microrganism growth by dosing BT-9. So far, no appearing of visable mold.

    I think the crabs eat the mosquito larvae, I have none in my vampire crab set-up. Nice set-up by the way, if you layer the substrate, you can get a lot more space for the crabs when they start breeding.
    Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and he will drink beer while getting sunburnt.

    Re: My vampire crabs setup

    how to do water change? lift up the two containers? I think the temperature may be a concern as tank is next to window. Singapore weather now very hot!

    heard they are fast enough to catch gammarus, so catching larve should not be a problem

    the windows has sun shield and the back of tank has a piece if aluminum foil as reflector, checked the temperature at hot days and it was 29C.

    Need to siphone the water away when water change. the frog bits are not growing and turned pale, so i guess not in hurry to do water change
