Added 3 Fiddler Crabs into My 20 gallon Paludarium!

Loved how when u put the first crab in it didn't want to leave your hand.

Now they don't want anything to do with me 😂

Hey I hope the fiddler crabs can climb the rocks! They need land to! Its about a 80% water and 20% land ratio.

[@Zeeallthewayioi]

And if you did not know they need brackish water.

[@atparium]

They're in low level brackish, and I have land for them in the corners + plus the rocks to climb on. Thanks for reaching out!

[@Zeeallthewayioi]

@@atparium Alright, Hope their doing well!

[@atparium]

@@Zeeallthewayioi i think they are, been contemplating on upgrading their setup sooner than later. Try my best to spoil them!

[@Zeeallthewayioi]

@@atparium Lol.

They look so awesome. Will you post a video if you add the Halocaridina? That would be amazing, I love that setup 😍

[@atparium]

Definitely! My next step is to add the shrimp once these crabs are settled in. And thank you!

[@glassyGREEN_]

​@@atparium Nice, I didn't know there were brackish crabs you can pair with these shrimp. Looking forward to your video :)

[@atparium]

@@glassyGREEN_ oh yeah, fiddler crabs are brackish, and they shouldn't bother the shrimp (i hope).

Wonderful videos - very well done. My question is whether the crabs need some dry land to burrow for parts of the day? I am setting up a fiddler crab tank (and have the same stones as you), but wondering if dry sand is needed. Thanks

[@atparium]

They really benefit from having land. Most of my videos don't show it but i do have 2 large sand mounds on both corners that allow the crabs fo burrow if needed. Mine will usually burrow if they have recently shed. Otherwise they find other places to hide or are out in the open "dancing"
