Red Crabs

[scunnypaxo]

Hi all, just wondering whether anyone had any info on keeping red crabs or has kept them before?

If you mean red clawed crabs(Perisesarma bidens), they are neat little guys. Fairly easy to keep, just need the right conditions. Most importantly they need brackish water and land access. They like to climb, so some logs and plants out of the water is adequate, and you don't need full land. Other than that, they are very hardy and will eat almost anything meaty. The site in my sig has some more info, as they have similar requirements to fiddler crabs.

I had one for a year, then gave him away due to aggression with my other crabs. Great little guy though.
