I Got Crabs Too!

They're not threats if you act on them.

Nice pics T I also like the one with the crs shrimplet, I got some today from Aquatic Design Centre if anyone wants any in or near London, £3.25 ea and I think six for the price of five. They are tiny I got a few that look like grains of rice with legs and one that is much bigger and very hairy. They do remind me of spiders except when they walk on the substrate then they look like crabs. Anyone know what sort pH, hardness etc they prefer.

Really is micro crab central here, can we look forward to pics from you too Liam?

No idea about preferred water stats, but mine are surviving and shedding/growing well in very soft water pH 6.8 - 7.2.

This paper may say something though, if anyone has free access, or money lol .
