>>304069 I had one crab thread where I was wondering what kind of male-female ratio to get. No one answered, lolz.
>>304073 Mine were 2.99/ea. They're not too hard to care for, maybe on par with, say, a praying mantis and for these you don't even have to provide live food. The expensive part is just getting a good tank, really..mine was 30 bucks. I got expensive sand, but I figured out I could get play-sand for a lot cheaper..oh well. :p Temperature might be an issue. I live in a warm climate so I don't have to worry about it much myself. They need something like 75-80 degrees.
>>304087 It's a Hagen Mini Elite. I plan on water changes every other weekend, which I do for my other fish tanks anyway, soooo..
>>304109 It's easier than I thought it would be. You need some marine salt, no table salt. I think it's 1.005 specific gravity for fiddler crabs, and they're tolerant to changes in the salinity. I use ~2 tablespoons for every gallon I put in there (like 2.5 gal. for me). I picked up a hydrometer and I actually should probably put more salt in there on the next water change. About having to keep adding salt, I'm not sure but I imagine so..I have virtually no experience with anything salt related, this is my first. I do know that you should mix the water outside the tank first though.
>>304157 Hahaha, really? That's cool. They sure are damn fun to watch, especially when you get a little colony like I did.
>>304196 True, true..mine are still kind of jumpy. They see me coming and dive underwater if I'm not stealthy/slow enough.
