Lovely video! Vampire crabs are such funny little critters I have 50 or so and they all have different little personalities. Some are shy some are fearless and some just quirky.

[@codythecoffinwizard]

Nice man! Been breeding and keeping crabs for a couple years now! Love the video!

[@buiscape]

No way, how's that going and any tips for breeding ?

[@codythecoffinwizard]

@@buiscape not much besides let them do their thing. I know a lot of people remove the female to a separate tank before the babies hatch to maximize the yield of the young because they eat them. Other than that you can get hybrids with some luck by mixing two species but it’s not recommended because most of the time they will try and kill each other. Looking forward to more videos, if you ever need some collaborative help I’m always here. Love to support crab enthusiasts I started out with a tank almost identical to this except I used montecarlo and black lava rocks with ferns and Buce clumps I had. Send me a pm or some time and we can chat a bunch further!

Amazing video ! So beautiful ! Bravo :)

[@buiscape]

[@lb8384]

I personally would say that this tank is a little small for everything, especially the shrimp and crab. The crabs also need much more space to dig in. Mine have roughly 20cm deep soil that they love to dig in. You rarely see them because they usually hide digged in. If they don't get enough wet soil to dig in they might get issues with molding as well as getting babies.

[@buiscape]

I have a 10 gallon shallow with only 2-3 inches of soil and they’ve been doing well for a year with dug holes

[@dtecrust]

I have an axolotle tank it's a lot of work, this more time but way easier to maintain. I can't wait to start mine I been wanting to do a Takashi Ammano style set up

[@ohitsdarren]

That's a really beautiful yet simple paladarium! I just gotten myself an open lid one too for vampire crabs (but ended up getting batiks). Got myself 6 crabs but only been seeing 5 of them... Am very worried that the last one escaped though I blocked off the cables with some plastic to prevent them, I've heard that they climb up the silicone at the edges of the tank too. Any thoughts on this? My glass hardly has any moisture so I doubt they have the opportunity to escape through that mean!

[@buiscape]

Hasn’t happened to me before

Hi really cool project but out of interest could the actual tank be smaller if there was say only 1 crab but you still had things like rocks and possibly a custom hardscape to give them stimulation etc. Thanks

[@buiscape]

They sometimes don’t move much but it doesn’t hurt to make a creative space for them to interact. Can’t go wrong with lots of plants!

[@TripleA737]

I have a question about the shrimps, can they overbreed? What to do when they're overpopulated? Also can the crabs eat them? Great video btw, I hope you upload more and maybe a build tutorial too! Hoping that I can get some crabs of my own one day.

[@buiscape]

I notice shrimps overbreed in larger tanks, and I haven't seen a crab eat shrimp yet. I have seen it kick a shrimp though haha. Glad you liked the video! My next project is turning one of my aquariums into a crab tank. Stay tuned! I've already started the recording process.

@@buiscape ok cool. I'm trying to make work what I have on hand. It's a front opening 40G with about 6 inches of water space. I have black fluorite sand and small mm black lava rock, going to see how that works. I also have some cool cork tubes I've positioned vertically in a way that crabs should still be unable to get out. The cork sticks up out of the tank. So like cork skyscrapers. Hopefully going to source some nice dark slate pieces to incorporate. I'll have a pump in this one, but just for running water up and trickling over each tallest cork tube. I also have a plan to create a device to keep the crabs off the wire, which I thinkll work. Wish me luck, I enjoy your vids, keep going.
