im not sure what it is, but do the crabs not eat any fish in your tank?

 

[flowerhornfishman]

not sure. nver seen them eat one before in throughout my experience of keeping crabs. i think i had him about two months now. there are guppies, some barbs, a crayfish and some midas fries in the tank with him. he always scared my crayfish off. lol

yea just asking because i would love to add some crab and crayfish but i am scared they will eat my jewel fish

 

[flowerhornfishman]

no worries. just provides lots of hiding places for them. it's fun to have a complete ecosystem in one tank, tht includes snails, crabs, fish, live plants. really fun to watch them, sometimes my snail lays eggs on top of my tank but i always throw them away. hahah
