Keeping Crabs

[blainep]

Saw some Fiddler Crabs at my fav LFS yesterday, and I really need another tank ;) .

Just wondering if anyone has kept crabs and how hard they are to care for ?

My Son has been after me to get those for a couple of years now. I did end up researching them, but they're just not for me. I know you're looking more for personal experiences here, but we came across a good site about them, if that helps:

I don't suppose you've considered the work involved in maintaining all of these tanks of yours, hmm? Even the amount I have runs me into the ground....lol....but people with more seem to manage.:)

WORK!....WORK! I didn't think we could use nasty four letter words like that. Work is what I do so I can enjoy all the hobbies I have.

Accutally, even though I know there are some downfalls to common sump systems, they make maintainance a breeze. Hopefully with good quarentine and a watchfull eye, I can avoid any big problems.

Thanks for the link Melody.
