Freshwater Aquatic Hermit Crabs

[Jpoe]

Stowaways invasive species perhaps, I would love to find some, trade for some freshwater zebra muscles, ha ha.

I miss the hermit crabs in my old salt water tank.

Where do you live?

I live on the Tn river in West Tennessee and I see these a lot. I have fw puffer fish and I go down to the river and collect trumpet snails for them to eat...about 1 out of 50 snails is missing and these little hermit crabs are in their shells. The game warden and everyone I tell thinks I’m crazy and nobody has heard of them. Next time I find one I’ll put them in my aquarium and take a pic.

Any new reports on this find?

I don't know what that blue sand is made of, but I'd suggest adding a whole lot of limestone, sea/beach sand, coral etc., maybe even (killed/FW soaked) live-sand and/or live rock. My experience trying to keep FW crabs is that they need super-hard water, lots and lots of Ca ions.

Olá, tenho 11 anos e moro no Brasil e aqui o aquarismo não é tão forte, algum de vocês sabe onde comprar uma clibanarius fonticola por exemplo?
Eu simplesmente amo invertebrados de água doce !!
Você sabe onde vende invertebrados de água doce a um preço barato, porque o valor do dólar é cinco vezes maior que o real (que é a moeda brasileira)
então algo em torno de vinte dólares que pode sair barato pra você, aqui no Brasil custa 100 reais e algo em torno de 100 dólares então é mais de 500 reais gastos com alguns invertebrados pequenos !!!
Outra coisa é ... que se você não entende alguma coisa, é porque usei o Google tradutor

clibanarius fonticola is rare. confined to one island and as far as o know not available in the trade...
