I was a bit curious as to if there was such a thing as 2muchcrustacean?
The LFS near me just got these sweet spongehead crabs, they are not the prettiest thing but I may find myself buying 2 since I tend to like things to not be alone, anyway I will be getting a new tank next week a 30gallon most likley but of course I will also need to cycle it and such and am just curious as to if an addition of these goliath crabs in my tank would be too much , my current stock is as follows...
10Gallon
12-14lbs of LR
-1 Damsel 1 Chromis (both juvi's)
-3 hermits
-3 snails
-1 cleaner shrimp
-1 emerald
-and 2 boxer crabs one of which is pregnet but I doubt I stand a chance to rear there young.

I probably have too much fish in my tank if anything but they have been in there the longest I started out with the chromis too cycle my tank and I do feel bad for him because he has to be tormented by the damsel but i dont have anyone I could give him too, but anyway just curious on everyones opinions if my tank looks overstocked or no?
And in a 30 gallon would that give me much more room for many more buddies :)? thanks all.
 
In the thirty you'd be able to add a few more fish. Depending on their size and swimming patterns. As far as the crabs, I'm not sure goes they do with the other crabs.
