Crabs

19-10-2010, 02:51 PM

I would like to ask, is it possible to mix crabs e.g. mandarin, vampire, red apple crabs together or is it best to keep them by species??

I think mandarin crab and vampires can go together?? Not sure but i think is best to keep species alone. Red apple crabs can grow to quite a big size so i dnt think is recommended. Not very sure must wait for other bros to comment

. Btw, do u have any mandarin crabs? If u do have can u pm me where u bought them from? Thanks a lot

-kai oh no i dun have any crabs yet, just laying out my plans to see what can be kept together so at least i noe how many i want to get and how to set up my tank..

-leezhengxi oh wao, is a 2 ft tank big enough? if i were to keep 2 of each or maybe more? do they like fight each other? and does ur tank stinks? sorry if i ask too many questions, just wanna noe more before i start raring them..

depends how you feed ... i feed mine with meal worms and frozen bloodworms , put in into a small platform for the crabs to eat , and easy to clear as well .
