FS Thai Micro Crabs

Thai Micro Crabs - $12 (Very limited)

Got in a few micro crabs available for sale. They're still new to me, so to my knowledge, these are not captive bred. I keep a few personally and from my observation, they're strictly nocturnal. I keep them with my SS-SSS Crystal shrimp tank. Ph of 6.6. I also have some in my snowball tank with a ph of 7.5. So as you can see, they will and can tolerate a wide range of water parameters. Temp at 74-78 degrees is what I keep them at. Again, my experience with them is limited as of today (June 1, 2009) but they do seem to be easy to care for. I don't even know what they eat but it does seem like they just pick through whatever micro-organism is available, like shrimp. It's unlikely for such a thing to starve to death. Even when you don't feed it. As long as your tank has been up and running for a month or so, it should be okay.

Shipping is $8.
You can combine shipping with snails too so check out this thread:

They're in the fish room right now, so I can't get pics yet. And the ones that are already in my tank are hiding. I'll be stopping by to pick some up later, so I'll snap a picture of those in the next couple of hours. Either that, or I wait till nighttime where I can snap pictures of the ones in my own tanks.

Pictures of the micro crabs! That's mini pellia they're standing next to. They're called Micro Crabs for a reason! They're VEEERY small. They're smaller than Tiny. :tongue:

Shrimp and fish friendly. I wouldn't be keeping them with my SS-SSS Crystal shrimp if they posed as a threat to shrimp
