Hi all,

As a follow up from my earlier threads on my new crabs,
I decided to change the water from fresh to brackish.
There doesnt seem to be a lot of info out there about the crabs, only people saying you should have fresh water and others saying brackish.

I have had them in brackish since tuesday this week.
I would recommend this to anyone who is not sure. Since the water was changed they seem a lot more active. I see them scavenging all the time now.
I would also recommend a part of the tank should have land because I see them on my rocks and sand also. They eat both in and out of the water.

Lee.

Crabs will really need land, not just water in their tanks.
