Default My Red Claw Crab

Sharing my Red Claw Crab. Its in an underwater 'habitat'. I got a small goldfish bowl in the fish tank. Its inverted it and weighted down. I put stones, driftwood (with nana) and pump air inside so that air is trapped inside. This allows my crab to go to the "surface" for air. In my first picture, the crab is inside, breathing air. Everyday, I will use an air pump to pump fresh air inside. I hope the nana also helps, during daylight. I got 2 mollies inside (i believe they are mollies). Its also a brackish setup.

What do you people think of this?
