i may have mentioned this before,but in the interest of saving a crab,ill say it again. red clawed crabs are brackish,they will die if they are put in a freshwater tank.but not before they kill a couple fish.

 

[Shark_Bait]

yup you said it before and i have it set up as brackish so no worries my friend

[Aquariumkeeper]

Saw some vids on youtube, looks VERY interesting, also looking forwrd to seeing your set-up!

 

[hippy guy]

I wanna sseee

 

[Shark_Bait]

the snails love it too. this was a quick set up just to test the equipment, that's why it may not look great yet

 

[hippy guy]

Wow, that's actually really cool. It would look really cool in a well planted tank, like an underwater lab or somthing lol

 

[Shark_Bait]

that's where its moving, into my 38gal planted tank

 

[hippy guy]

Omg I'm super jelous! I'm tryn to get a 30 or 40 gal when I move out of this apartment (hoorayy) and I will do just that. Keep us posted

 

[Shark_Bait]

you got it!! the rcc moves into him new home tomorrow!!

 

[Aquariumkeeper]

yay i cant wait to see the red claw crab

RCCs are fairly terrestrial crabs and will spend a good deal of their time out of water. I don't agree with keeping them in regular aquariums, and I don't think a little bubble of air will suffice. IMO they ought to have a proper land are to explore. Also, they need brackish water, a specific gravity of ~1.008 is ideal. Your serpae tetra won't live in that.

i guess you have not read the posts before this one. The lagoon is being moved into a 38gal planted tank!!! The reason i put it in this 10gal was to test that it works. The water in the 38 is brackish already. It's too bad that you don't agree with this lagoon because it is supported by major crab breeders and habitats abroad.

 

[adeebm]

Yes I did read the thread. I just don't think a fully aquatic aquarium is an appropriate habitat for RCCs. Even with the lagoon. I don't see it being supported by major crab breeders, seeing as there are no major RCC breeders.
