Aquarium Advice Freak
I am finally setting up my aquaterrarium crab tank;for my new vampire crab. I have been reading loads this last week, trying to find the right set up for my little fella; who is in fact a girl :/ but each article and webpage contradicts the next and i'm still no wiser as to what these little guys need. So I figured I would ask here, as you've always helped with my previous issues
I have a 10 gallon tank; apparently enough space for 2, from what I have read.
I have a heater and an aqua flow filter.
Gravel and Play sand
I'm ordering a Hygrometer and Condensation tray. I'm hoping the condensation tray will help keep the tank humid enough but i'm not sure if it will.
Basically, I was planning on setting up the tank as play sand and gravel but I'm not sure whether play sand is suitable for crabs. If not I know they prefer dirt but I have no idea what type of dirt to get. Will any old dirt do? Compost etc, or do they have a specific type that they need?
I'm also going to get some moss but from reading on the net, people have used moss such as java,etc but also moss from their gardens. Surely taking moss off my wall, is not good for the crab?
I think this is all for now, I'm sure I can think of some more questions though
Thanks
