Urhm....I wasn't sure where to place this question so I decided to put it here.
My family and I spent the afternoon at the beach today and I was catching creatures for my 8 year old daughter. I caught a beautiful jelly fish of some type that we kept for a while in a bucket, but we released it. Later on we caught a good size crab whose body is about half again as big as a half dollar. She wanted to keep it(Even named him Pinchers) so I got suckered in.
I have no idea what type of crab it is but they dig deep holes in the sand 10'-30' from the Ocean.
Only problem is I've never kept any type of crab before.
This is what I have on hand to make a home for him:
10 gallon tank
Duetto 100 power filter that is kept in the main tank so it has nitrifying bacteria in it.
Extra gravel & decorations
Extra heater
Easy access to Ocean water and sandy beaches
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set up a crab shack?
