Hi all, thanks for the praise. Up till now i still miss my crabs

_kai_: I got the micro crab from thailand, imported it in myself as it is rarely available locally. I also managed to breed the micro crabs, but i wasnt able to raise the babies The micro crab is shrimp safe, i keep them with my yellow shrimps.

stackdeck: Eventually, some of the crabs died or i sold them away. to be honest, these crabs wont survive long. The max lifespan of these crabs (referring to the geosesarma species, the thaksinthelphusa and the micro crab) are about 2 years plus. By the time we buy them, the crabs are already between 1 yr old to 1.5 yr old. So, they normally wont live very long.
