Fiddler crabs are low maintenance and are usually kept in small to medium-sized aquariums. They are fun pets to watch and can live for up to ten years.
Fiddler crabs are great but just like the red claw Southeast Asian crabs, they need some brackish water. Actually even land crabs need some sea salt in their water. I think the vampire crabs are 100% freshwater but I'm not spending that much money on a tiny crustacean that can mysteriously drop dead on me at any time. The same thing with the Exotic fancy colored pricey freshwater shrimp. These greedy breeders can shove them up their ass.
These freshwater crabs are interesting for many people to add in their aquarium. The Vampire Crab looks very awesome with so many different colors on its body. The crab can also survive with any type of foods available, which is great! Thank you so much for doing this video.
My grandfather had a lot of freshwater crabs because they were very easy to keep, and their food was quite easy, not only small fish, he also liked mushrooms.
Discovering the world of freshwater crabs is intriguing! This video offers insights into keeping these unique creatures as pets. Educational and engaging!
Wow I learnt some new things from this video.Thank you for this valuable video.I really excited to see a video like this.I hope your next video will upload soon.Excellent..
My favorite freshwater crab is Rainbow Crab. Because, Rainbow crabs are known for their vibrant colors and large size. Their need for brackish water and fascinating burrowing behavior might attract those who are looking for a visually stunning and active crab species.
Always interested to know more about water animal especially crabs! Love watching all your videos thank you so much for sharing this I learn and discover a lot from your channel 😍
Freshwater crabs are fascinating creatures! Thanks for the educational video. A deep dive into the world of these intriguing crustaceans. Nature's wonders in our freshwater ecosystems. 🦀🌊
An excellent video about Freshwater Crabs. I Like most hermit crab. This video was very useful to increase my knowledge. Each information is clearly explained in relation to the topic. Thanks for sharing this video with us. Bring more valuable videos like this.
Because they were simple to maintain and fed easily-in addition to little fish-my father raised a lot of freshwater crabs. He also like mushrooms. thank you so much for sharing
Interesting video. I learned a lot information about freshwater crabs frim this. Vampire crabs are unique from others due to their surprising features.
I loved this video! The information given is incredible both in editing and collection, you do a good job, you deserve to go further, you have my support!
Personally I would suggest getting Pom Pom crabs I’ve owned other crabs in the past but the Pom Pom crabs are easy and interesting to have they are very active in my tank and are always looking for food. They are peaceful crabs that get along with tank mates and have had no issues with escapes
Studying in for a potential rainbow crab, my biggest issue so far being the lack of concrete and well-researched information. Any more sources that might help me with this? Just looking for a single rainbow crab, preferably a 80% land 20% water set up - fresh, if possible
Heads up, the Matano Crab is not Geosesarma Notophorum. G. Notophorum is actually the Mandarin crab, which is a great freshwater species like the Vampires. Geosesarma consists of only small crabs similar to the Vampires and Devils, but Matanos’ have a noticeably different body plan than the Geosesarma genus.
Personally - I've only kept them with each other. For fish lots of options. You can check out a blog post I have all about them here - aquariumstoredepot.com/blogs/news/vampire-crab
It’s in the description. This video was before I started to make an attribution file under MLA 9 format. I tried going back on some of my videos but this particular editor is no longer with me to retrieve the sources.
the vampire crab ini unik memiliki warna coklat kemerah merahan lebih sering terlihat seperti itu, hewan ini dari sesarmide dan sering ada di indonesia terutama pulau jawa serta memiliki ukuran 1.5 inches.
@@Toxin_E-07 I have a very large house. They’re pretty small compared to my monitor lizards, tegu, iguana, reticulated python, Burmese python and African rock pythons
@@SnakeLizardexoticskeeper Very nice. It would be fun to be able to house that many larger animals. How many coconut crabs do you have and what is their space like?
Aquarium noobie here. I have a question, i have community fish that all live in harmony and no one eats each other. Which crab would be best for this? Freshwater of course. I dont want the crab eating fish and vice versa.
Pom Pom crabs are freshwater and fully aquatic. They are quite peaceful and eat algae. Pretty good bottom dweller but don’t live super long. A year or so.
to me, metasesarma aubryi (Red Apple Crab) are the best to me. they’re like the red and demonic version of vampires! sad thing is my ones are different from the other crabs, they uproot any plant i try to put in or before i got them. same thing when it comes to species, they will kill the vampire crabs because of territorial reasons. (i think.) they only need 1 male 2 females for a 5 gallon, i prefer to keep two since i may have to increase feeding. they’re just little devils when it comes to cleaning their tank (i got pinched under my fingernail while trying to take them out, its natural for this bc they think im a predator.)
also considering their diet is 90% vegetables or fruits, i do feed them boiled shrimp on occasions like events (christmas,new year’s day,Halloween,national day,deepavali,cny (chinese new year) which is not very often as they prefer the tail than the body 😄
@@ionutiancu9612 why? You must be one of those greedy breeders for a middleman in the exotic pet trade. These are tiny Crustaceans that can drop dead at any time just like invertebrates. Besides the high price there is also the rip-off cost of 2-day priority or overnight shipping. Considering this I am surprised that anyone would ask why, unless they are a greedy fuck in the business. That should be a topic for my next live stream show bashing the capitalists Crooks in the exotic pet industry.
@@missquark_ the people that breed them are Crooks, they are expensive for tiny crustaceans that can die on you at any time. You did not focus on what I was saying before.

excellent video with very good tips for searching for freshwater crabs
Fiddler crabs are low maintenance and are usually kept in small to medium-sized aquariums. They are fun pets to watch and can live for up to ten years.
Can they survive in pure freshwater?
@@abdulbasithazeemthey need brackish water which is a mix of fresh and saltwater so no
@@insectwildlife37 that's what I thought but i keep seeing people keeping them in pure freshwater
fiddler crabs 10 years?!! 2 years more or less is their expected lifespan

Hi do crabs need to go outside water? Im planning to put them in other fish
I was looking for nice shrimp colors, but after two days of crab videos I really want some crabs now :D
Some of these crabs are pretty awesome looking I agree 👍
My grandfather had a lot of freshwater crabs because they were very easy to keep, and their food was quite easy, not only small fish, he also liked mushrooms.
That Matano one is so unique. I haven't seen it before. These are such beautiful creatures.
It really is ^_^
Wow how useful this video is! I have learned a lot, panther crabs are my favorites, amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Personally - I've only kept them with each other. For fish lots of options. You can check out a blog post I have all about them here - aquariumstoredepot.com/blogs/news/vampire-crab
Did you give credit to Girltalksfish for her clips you took of her Thai micro crabs?

So many its overwhelming lol. Which ones are fully aquatic that don't require "land" if anyone could please that would be amazing!
Thai micros don’t require land
When I Think Of A Crab I Usually Think of A Crab About The Size And Shape of A Moon Crab And It’s Color Looks Like A Red Swamp Crawfish
Lol love it 😊
@@AquariumStoreDepot Yeah I Found Out im Thinking of Basically An Adult Fiddler Crab. Edit: I Was Wrong 💀
So far I keep land crabs, I have a coconut crab, hermit crabs and moon crabs, I can’t wait to get some freshwater crabs
Nice 😎
Coconut crabs are very large. How do you keep them?
@@Toxin_E-07 I have a very large house. They’re pretty small compared to my monitor lizards, tegu, iguana, reticulated python, Burmese python and African rock pythons

@@Toxin_E-07 I have one and currently it’s in a 4x2x2 but eventually I’m modifying one of my large walk in closet for it
Pls answer do fiddler crabs need salt water as well
Aquarium noobie here. I have a question, i have community fish that all live in harmony and no one eats each other. Which crab would be best for this? Freshwater of course. I dont want the crab eating fish and vice versa.
Thai micros and vampires would be the best options. Micros definetly but you won’t see them much
Keep in mind they need access to air or they will die
Pom Pom crabs are freshwater and fully aquatic. They are quite peaceful and eat algae. Pretty good bottom dweller but don’t live super long. A year or so.
@@angiebear8727100% on point 👌
I have that exact same squidward house in my 50 gallon for my bristlenose plec
I can have a pet Fiddler crab and name Him "Uncle Earnie" because He,...wait for it,......wait for it,....fiddles about(Haha,ha,HA!!)
I know this isn’t relevant to the video but pls don’t mind me asking is sea salt ok for saltwater crabs
It should be. Just adjust it to their preferred salinity. Not sure which species you were referring to
@@AquariumStoreDepot I was referring to the common shore crab (European green crab)🙂
to me, metasesarma aubryi (Red Apple Crab) are the best to me. they’re like the red and demonic version of vampires! sad thing is my ones are different from the other crabs, they uproot any plant i try to put in or before i got them. same thing when it comes to species, they will kill the vampire crabs because of territorial reasons.

i do prefer a 10 gallon over 5 gallons but 5 gallons are the most convenient as its not heavy to carry when you have 4 inches of substrate
Awesome info - thank you for sharing ❤️
@@AquariumStoreDepot your welcome
I wish we could actually get freshwater hermit crabs not the land hermit crabs shown here.
Unfortunately saltwater hermits are best for that though the best ones are small in size
Saltwater hermits are best for freshwater aquariums? @@AquariumStoreDepot
Best crabs for 68 degree water?
Can u keep crabs in a shrimp tank
Pom Pom and micro crabs should work
@@AquariumStoreDepotcan I keep a panther crab (1) in a 5 gallon tank?
Vampire crabs are a complete rip-off
Why?
