10G Vampire Crab Paludarium

Classic Pap-trap!
 
Yep! It's weird though. I see my Vampire Crabs in the water a lot and it's pretty awesome! Though they end up eating my shrimp's food. Gotta get some shrimp pellets in there from time to time for them.
 
how do you think the vampire crabs will fare with the fish? i'm asking because I showed my friend this thread, and now he wants some! (and I'm kinda living through him for this project)

I'm actually unsure. Though the upside of Vampire Crabs is that their claws don't open too wide. The darios shoulde be big enough not to be pinch, but a scratch here and there might happen. I'll report to you what it will be like.
 
Just got home from my 2 week vacation and everything looks good. All the plants were overgrowing. I have to trim things down. Both Vampire Crabs are alive. And tons of Malawa Shrimp! :)

I think I'm gonna end up getting a betta for this tank. If he starts attacking the shrimps, I'm gonna put him in his own 2 gallon tank on my desk. That way I have a buddy when school starts for me! If that falls through, I'll get some Dario darios.
