can you breed fiddle crabs

just wanting to know or is it not going to happen

It's probably not going to happen.

I've had them mate, but you need awesome water quality to make it successful, i'm talkin' wave makers and Ozonators (i think) and the such, very expensive.

Mine have berried twice, no babies.

Here are some pictures of mine:



The male died afew days ago of unknown causes

Of course they breed,they come from somewhere
The question is can you breed them?all depends on your skills as a fishkeeper and how bad you want to make it happen.

I like fiddlers a lot, but because of a complicated larval state, captive brreding is not likely.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but you REALLY have to be trying.

Brackish water, a small beach of sand and a wavemaker increase the odds considerably...

Yup, but i think the babies have to hatch in full salt water too... not sure though.
