Yeah, crabs. 2 Rainbow crabs. What did you folks imagine?

This setup is only temporary until some parts arrive from Foster&Smith sometime this week...(I've removed the HOB filter. I just put it there to see how much more tubing I'd need.)

Goin under...

on the hunt

mmmm, apple

crab apple...heh

more pics to come when the tank is rearranged.

And, on a side note, 2 of my Bolivian Rams are apparently a breeding pair. The lone male has been moved to my planted tank, and the two love bird, er fish, now have some peace for their eggs.

Mmmmmm . . . tasty.

Nice crabs, they're cute. But you should word your titles differently next time . . . (j/k)

 

[k.ODOMA]

What's the expected life-span for your crabs?

 

[Hyena]

Awww.... they're so cute.

I say name them after your ex-girlfriends.

What do they eat? (Besides apples) Are they hard to take care of?

 

[Reck45]

Stick teh finger in teh case.

 

[nanahachi]

well, there were 10 guppies. now there are 6.

the crabs are omnivorous. fruit, vegetables, fish, flake food, etc. i wonder if they'll eat my enemies?

At this point, both crabs are totally skittish and even if i get out of my desk chair too quickly, theyll duck for cover. hopefully they will get used to me and start sitting atop the rocks even when they know i'm here. (they'll walk around, etc when they don't spot me).

I fed both little guys some apple off of the end of a chopstick, so I am going to try to train them to be less and less afraid of me.

btw, i would never insult my little pals with the names of ex's. poor crabs don't deserve that sort of insult.

ive been clipped by a mud crab before, when i was a kid... my thumb... ouch... the blood splattered everywhere... but these little ones seem harmless... well, unless thats what i think... the guppies may have different opinion from mine though...

 

[KenW]

Okay, I confess...you got me with that one! I know folks on this site are close and share a good bit but simply felt that would be stretching things a bit. Made me look though! Kudos!

 

[Head Creep]

What a coincidence, I have crabs too! I like sharing my crabs with people, letting them feel the joy I do.

 

[joelk]

So very cuddly!! I just may have to replace my collie.

That's not a crab.

You should get a pair of Alaskan King Crabs. Now there's a crab for you. Only if you got a pair of those you would need a tank 8x the size of the one you have now
