I need to keep track of which crab is where and who is molting and who is not… so I’m going to do this here, as well as on my Flickr page. So here we go!

This picture is of the 20 gallon long I have upstairs… there is only one crab in here. I got this tank and this crab on Veteran’s day, the 11th of November 2008. The person who gave him and the tank to me said that there may be bugs in the tank… so I cleaned it out, and gave him some new shells, and he switched shells. And he’s in isolation to make sure he’s okay.  So far, so good.  Though he may be molting under that pile of ecoearth:

Downstairs Tank. I got this tank and the two bigger crabs on 06 Nov 2008, Thursday. I got the three smaller crabs from Petco on 07 Nov 2008, Friday (not sure why I bought them, I was being goofy that day). 29 gallon (I think, I haven’t measured it yet). Three of these crabs are out and about and two of them seem to be buried, possibly molting.

These are the two on the cholla wood. The bigger of the two seems to be doing quite good. I got him for free on KSL.com and his name was Max. The other one I got with him was named Lucy (since I have a dog names Lucy that’ll have to change) and she was in a painted shell. She is not visible at the moment.. so she is buried and maybe molting. Though when I say ’she’ I’m guessing, I haven’t sexed them yet.

The other guy in the white shell is one I got from Petco. Seems okay, though not much movement out of him.  He hasn’t gone down to molt though so maybe he’s okay.

Oh, this is the tank where one of the crabbies was nakid for a day or two.  He is now gone, and I don’t know if he’s molting or if he got a shell.  Hopefully he’s molting. There is no bad fish smell so hopefully none of them have died on me.

This is the third guy in the downstairs tank that is not buried. He is also a Petco crab. He seems to be doing okay, though like the little white guy he hasn’t had much movement. He’s been on the cholla wood most of the time, too, with the other two crabs.

Finally, here is a picture of the whole tank downstairs. My tanks are pretty sparce right now mainly because I want to keep an eye on the crabs, and also because I don’t have much to put in them yet! Plus I have a tank at work that I’m going to be switching to a way cool 35 gallon hex my friend Christy gave me.

So there we have it! They have ecoearth substrate. Salt Water (Instant Ocean) and fresh water bowls. Wood to climb on, and food from The Crabbage Patch as well as fresh food. I need to eat more fresh food myself, and share with the crabbies!

I will post about them occasionally so I can keep track of them!

On this day..
