Would you have used filter foam instead of using all Leca? I was going to used filter around the pump and as a false bottom
@IndoorEcosystemКүн бұрын
Nar, Leca is just too hard to beat. It's cheaper, works better as a biological filter media and fits into all the little cracks between the rocks to get a more snug fit. Filter foam works (I've used it before) but I wouldn't use it for anything too deep. It can get a big saggy with weight on top. So if you're putting rocks and logs and dirt and stuff on top it will compress over time.

Were do you get your crabs because everywhere I look there either to expensive or I can find them
@vibes87632 күн бұрын
So I started with one species had them for a year untill they died of age I assume, I got another species then and around 2 months later I see both species thriving. Somehow one specie survived after searching the whole tank. I tried selling one species but no succes. So they lived together for a year happy with no casualties or injured crabs. After a Year I hoped for maybe a cross breed but sadly not. Suddenly they were everywhere and I counted 20 crabs in sight not even the burrowed ones. I tried selling them again urgent because the space is too little for the crabs but sadly it was wintertike so unable to ship accordingly or people would say it was too expensive. The lack of space sadly caused for regular attacks and the dominant species switch one in a while who "rules" the tank. They went on a rampage and destroyed a lot of plants. One species are not afraid of me and I can pick up the other one are agressive. The friendly one is : rouxie (the rainbow blue back one) So if you like more friendly crabs they seem to be more friendly
@IndoorEcosystem2 күн бұрын
@vibes8763 This is quite an interesting scenario that i see come up on odd occasions. They can interbreed but it's almost always a muddy mess of colour. Nothing pretty. So I'd advise against muddying the market with mixed genetics. I find it interesting that the dominant species eventually eradicates the less dominant one, usually by sheer numbers. Rouxi are also surprisingly aggressive compared to some of the other I keep. So I can see why they won.
@wallycheladyn11902 күн бұрын
Okay. I've picked up some borneo crabs. About a month after getting them, I found one on the bottom of the aquarium (in the water). I had just been looking in the tank no less than 30 minutes before, and at that time, no crab. The carcass had the bottom flap popped open, and the insides looked empty. It smelled horrible, though. I've read on some forums that the molt can be rank. There are no signs of oozing or puss. Is it a dead crab or a molt?
@IndoorEcosystem2 күн бұрын
@wallycheladyn1190 molts don't smell at all. Smell means a dead crab. The forums are 100% incorrect. Clear eye sockets are the best way to tell if it's fresh. But anything with smell is sadly a death.

@IndoorEcosystem thanks. A couple more quick questions. I know you have used a small usb pump. How has it lasted? When I look at them on Amazon there's tons of options. However when you start reading reviews they all have comments where people said they went out under 2 months. And what filter foam did you use when shielding the pump. Did you use the courser foam or the finer particle foam.
@IndoorEcosystem8 күн бұрын
@@andyd834 If you're doing a ton of 10 gals don't bother with pumps and filters. They are a waste of time. I only add them because KZbin viewers loves them! But in reality they don't really serve a purpose in a VC tank. They just add more drama and maintenance. Keep it simple for the most relaxing experience! But to answer your question anyway I have bought 2 cheap amazon style pumps. One lasted 2 year the other 18 months and still going. It's a luck of the draw kinda thing. For the filter foam I used a medium density one but I'm not sure on the density grade.
