Vampire Crab Tank

Keeping some and hopefully I can breed them.

The Tank

The DIY filter I made for this tank due to the low water level in there

Those are amazing. All these amazing inverts are coming out of Indonesia recently but it kills me that these guys can't be kept submerged! I'm actually searching for some panther crabs myself. They get MUCH bigger than these guys which is cool but I cannot get over how unique vampire crabs are. Keep us posted!

Oh yes. I do notice they prefer the dry ground more. But sometime they will just go for a dip with the mollies. The mollies just mind their own business as well thus I find it rather safe to say they are of good combination. The mollies are in there just in case mosqitoes start to breed in there.

Thank you for the kind words.

I caught 2 of them in this position this morning. Are they mating?

Wow you may have a breeding pair. And if you do your research there is close to NOTHING out there regarding that! Pay close attention, this thread could become extremely informative for others who have or are planning on owning vampire crabs!
