Thank you.!!! Sorry.!I've merged the two threads so everything is now together in one thread.
So for the tri Sulfa. I’m either going to heal her or kill her.?It's usually a good idea to continue with the original thread or post a link to it so people can refer back to what has already been said.
You can try using triple sulpha (tri sulfa) and see if it helps. It's a broad spectrum medication that treats bacteria, fungus and some external protozoan infections, but it is safe for most animals including shrimp. So it should be safe for crabs. However, the crab might be too far gone to survive.

Regarding the UV light, they only need that for a few hours each day. Don't have lights on at night because they need some dark time to sleep or go walk about.
So, I’m gonna opt out of the tri sulfa. As I seen mentioned before it can either help her or fully wipe her out. So, I’m gonna let her be, I began doing water changes every day, now I’ve switched it to every other day. Water is good, tests are good, no ammonia nothing is wrong, water is clear as ever.Triple sulpha should be fine for all of them.
There is a possibility the crab is simply old and dying.
So, from then until now, she kept going. I slowed water changes since everything was good and when I changed the water last night I guess she was just to weak to handle it all.Cross all fingers it'll be ok... I think you are taking great preventative measures!
So sorry for your loss AshleySo, from then until now, she kept going. I slowed water changes since everything was good and when I changed the water last night I guess she was just to weak to handle it all.
So, she was either sick and hung on this long… or she was simply just old and she had her time.
