One of my fiddler crabs has stopped waving his claw at me as he often does. Seems listless. Is there an antibiotic of special bath I can give to him? Water parameters are great.
 
freshwater-brackish-sick fiddler crabs

Hi,
Thanks for the response. Yes they have both brackish water and dry land. They have been doing great for 6 months, but specific gravity 1.000, and I tried to make it "perfect" by adding sm. amt salt. Now too much. Put them in another tank, and completely cleaned original one. Left in other tank overnight with air pump and heater. They all (2 males, 1 female) just sat on large rock all night; not the usual behavior. When replaced in original tank, 2 a little sluggish, but perked right up. My "waver" just sat there. Spec. grav now 1.008.
He is better this am, but I am still worried about him. He is the "waver"of the 2 males.:thanks:
