That's bad a$$. I kinda want one now but idk how much I would like it if I found one of my $40 cichlids in those claws

I know a few people that had them and they never lasted. Also I believe a member here had one it was blue but if I recall they had problems with it and there fish.

Also they will go after sleeping fish if hungry enough. I was gonna do it and had the place and everything. I later opted out. If you want I'll try and fish the site that has them. If it were me though I wouldn't do it unless I had a HUGE tank.

I am interested in crabs too but those things get to big for me. Another user said red claw crabs were alright with his africans so I'm checking them out

yea I'm upgrading to a 100+g tank here soon and was thinking of putting one in there with my cichlids, or just use one of my old 55g tanks that is just laying around a add a couple big non aggressive fish in with it and see how it goes. if you find out the site let me know
