Do a search. Or even look at the rest of the threads on the FW Noob Forum page. Yesterday I posted a link to a Crab website with forum.
But for your crabs sake. He needs to GET OUT OF WATER to breathe.

I have no idea.
Do you add non iodized salt to you water?
Is he the only creature in your aquariuM? Or do you have fish as well?

I felt so bad that i almost killed my first and only thing in my tank, that i bought some live bloodworms. the LFS said that they would live for 4-5 days but i forgot to ask what to feed them if anything. also they seem to be going under my gravel. will they breed? can they live under there? what do they eat? will they come up so my crab can eat them?
thanx
