Nope not yet, from what ive read they can be housed fine with red cherry shrimp, ive got a ten gallon growing plants out now and when its planted decent i will first get those see how they do then get these guys for a lil more contrast depending how the shrimp do. If all goes well i will have a small puffer by the end of this year if i can get the setup for it, and already have a decent supply of red cherries.....but the crabs will just be for show.

I heared on different sites about them breeding but they never went into much detail about if the average joe can accomplish it.....im hoping with enough cover and no fish itd be possible. But who know. Stranger things have happned.
