Limnopilos Naiyanetri: Freshwater Spider Crabs

[mellowvision]

that's too bad yours didn't breed Arakkis... I thought I read they were easy going... I hope mine do.

got em 6 for $18 bucks from Frank's, Inka. I should have bought more!

6 for 18?!?! wow what a good deal

Good luck with the crabs.

Are these the ones that can be kept w/dwarf shrimp? Those are sweeet crabs man!

 

[Wycco]

I'm guessing any fish over an inch long will eat them?

 

[Dwarf Puffers]

I hope somebody breeds them soon, I love crustaceans...

Try over 3" long, if they'll leave their appendages alone...

I still got some left.. they're cool
Anyone wanna buy the last of them? had them for 4 months trying to breed them but never got babies

Heh, I'm glad I'm broke now, much easier to resist temptation. I've got a 4yr old nephew that loves crabs and is always checking my tanks to see if I have any.

Oh, so fish like Danios/Cherry Barbs/Corydoras would be fine with them then?

Neat... I'm going to have research them more and check if there are some around when I'm ready to stock. They look fascinating.

a quick update for anyone who's been interested... last night, after weeks of being convinced I did not have crabs any more, I sat down in front of the tank about 4 hours after lights off with a flash light. HOLY CRABS BAtMAN! they're all looking great. super active after dark. I was so psyched!
