New Blue Crab!!

[sportsplaya25]

Just caught a small blue crab last week and she is only about 3 inches long and she is temporarily in my 12 gallon until she gets a little bigger and then ill put her in the larger 55! ill upload pics probably tomorrow.

Ive been feeding her fresh cut bait shrimp and every once in a while a small minnow caught from the same place she was caught. what else should i feed her? and is there anything else i can add to her tank to make her feel more at home??

try Hikari Crab Cuisine sticks, never tried it myself.. but i do know there are crab food available... I think petsmart sells them.. because i've seen them sell hermit crabs.... if not try online..

But i think that any sinking pellets would also work. since crabs are mostly bottom filter feeders..

My patriot crabs like the Zilla brand aquatic turtle pellets.Different species I know but it might help.
