Sarah, nice to see some updated pics from the microcrab club Thought it has been a bit quiet since the initial introduction.

The crabs are looking great. Looks like they are quite playful too Any sign of eggs?

It looks like these are not as easy to breed as the original sellers have made out! There are some great videos on youtube and it appears there is a larval stage involved, but these are not lasting long.

Saw these in PFK. Can you keep them with shrimp?

One of mine has eaten cherries that got trapped against the side of the glass and couldn't escape. Otherwise, they're too slow to catch anything; They're just opportunistic, like most other crabs.

They're fine.
