I've looked over this site and googled info trying my best to determine if there's any real freshwater crabs for sale in the hobby. All my research yeilded pretty much nothing. I've wanted crabs since I've gotten into the hobby, but refrained due to lack of info on keeping them. The only info I got was sporadic info on the keeping of land crabs ie: Vampire and the like to hermit crabs. I also read that the commonly sold fiddler is a brackish water invertebrate and needed alot of access to land as well despite what those who are selling them say. Informing there customers that they're fully aquatic and completely fresh water invert's. The like was also said of red clawed crabs again wrong cause from what I read they have the same requirements as fiddlers. All the info I get is contradictory to each other. So I'm here to ask if there's anyone on MFK with personal experience with freshwater crabs. I'd really appreciate any info any of the freshwater invert experts could give. So please help inform a fellow MFK'er on freshawter crab husbandry so I can properly care for one should I get it. No matter what happens I plan to find out about their husbandry so I may be forced to obtain the various kinds of crab available and try my hand at keeping them. As soon as I find this info I plan to try to contact a moderator and see if I can organize the info into a sticky so that others can benefit from the seemingly huge lack of info on the crabs. I plan on trying the chili crabs petzonesd.com has for sale first. They're the only ones I can't find any info on, so hopefully they're fully fresh water. In the mean time if anyone can help me please do. Thank you in advance.
