FS Thai Micro Crabs

[Arakkis]

Will these work in a mangrove tank? Might be interested. If not what inverts will be good in an mangrove tank?

I'm assuming that the mangrove tank is a brackish tank so you want brackish critters. Olive, crown, and zebra nerites can be good snail wise. Ammanos, ghost, red-nosed, and mandarin shrimp would be good. You may have trouble finding brackish crabs that won't eat everyone though. The micro crabs are full fresh though

Can't wait Something that I did not find though is an average life span. You have any idea?

Not a clue on that, I figure 1~2 years but I'm not sure

why are they so expensive????

They were expensive to begin with.

How's the reproduction on these guys? Larval stages, etc?

According to another source at plantedtank, they say they will breed like cherry shrimp though I haven't seen pics of babies

I've got more of these interesting crabs in. So far there are 38 available

I am interested in one but how do they do with RCS? I will also have to hold off until next week to order when I am full settled with my RCS tank setup. If you can it would be great to place one or two on hold for me. I know i want one for sure if they do well with dwarf shrimps.

Edit: I found out as much information as I could, but I will have to wait to order them until next week unless there is a discount if I come pick them up from you in SJ. Otherwise I will have to have them shipped to LA. PM me when you can.

They won't eat Cherrys.

I might be able to hold some till the 18th.
