Aquarium Advice FINatic
I've been planning this for 6 months and finally getting started. Time for vampire crabs!!! My parents are opposed to another tank as usual, so this might not go through... I'll try anyway! Just pulled my old 29g out of the garage and got it cleaned up. It was my old fiddler crab tank, and had a lot of silicon left over from dividers. That took a couple hours of craping to remove.
I'm roughly following Caring for frogs for my build setup. I've tried multilevel before and it looks kinda ugly, so I'm not doing that again. I'll just have large pieces of driftwood to add dimension. I have pea gravel, screening, coco fiber, peat moss, and terrarium moss, so I'm ready to start laying in the substrate.
As far as vampire crab species, I'm thinking mandarin crabs, Geosesarma notophorum. These crabs are almost entirely terrestrial compared to the other vampire species. I'm pretty sure I could get away with just a water bowl. But anyways, I'm going to have a water feature like the link above. I'm planning on ordering them from Mandarin Vampire Crabs Seems to be the cheapest I can find. Does anyone have experience ordering animals from them? I know Brian's tropicals also sells them, but I don't have the money for $50 ea.
Anyways, I'll post pictures once there's more than just an empty tank...
