Cant believe its your first video that was a short masterpiece
Thank you so much for your kind words, hope you like the next one!
This video was a cinematic masterpiece, stumbled upon this while researching about vampire crabs
Vampire crabs are getting more popular every minute. Love the build!
thank you! I hope they become more accessible to many.
I've been DYING looking for someway to make this work out, and oh my gosh. I think I finally found an example of a self-sustaining ecosystem with shrimp and vampire crabs!! Thank you so much! Please post updates!
I'm excited for your venture, I hope this video helps!
@@buiscape I also need to mention you should put a top on there... They need humidity
This has always been one of my favorites to watch progress. Well done. The quality is superior!
Thank you, I really appreciate that you’ve been following this project! I hope you’ll like the future ones
The video quality is next level and I really liked the scape. Never thought of a crab setup this way.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope this video inspires you
i could stare at this all day and night! love crabs! love shrimp! love this video!
My friend, thank you!!! Crustaceans are awesome.
This is amazing - such a calming voice, incredible videography and of course a spectacular tank. Can't wait to see your other projects
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it
What a great start, Anthony! I really love the video! I have never got the springtails before, that's very interesting that you use it as foods for the crabs. Keep it up the great work! Can't wait to see more videos from you! 😍😍🥰🥰
Thanks so much Jacky! They’re definitely worth considering, my sister showed them to me and I’m glad she did cause they’re useful !
This build is amazing. Good job. Hope to accomplish something similar.
I love this educational video!! I’m researching how to do this and a lot of questions were answered. Thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Very nice man, i can tell by the quality of this video that if you keep going and make videos like this, you will go very far my friend!
I am subscribing because i really want you to succeed, and i hope this gives you motivation to keep going!
Found you through your Instagram btw😅
Thank you for the kind words Andre and having faith in this channel. Means a lot! I hope you enjoy the future content
Wonderful scape and video!
thanks my friend !!!
myyy man!! quality on point!! Can't wait to see more vids baby!!! Loved this one!!🤙
Jamie! Thank you my man
Nice man!
Been breeding and keeping crabs for a couple years now! Love the video!
No way, how's that going and any tips for breeding ?
@@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!
@@codythecoffinwizard aw man that’s awesome, thanks for the knowledge. I’m still very new to having crabs and they’re so unique! I’m gonna build. A larger set up for them soon and hopefully I can get them to breed
@@codythecoffinwizard I’m not sure how to PM on TH-cam but do you have IG?
@@buiscape I actually don’t haha! Have only Reddit and TH-cam.
If you got an email I’ll hit you up on that!
Love the camera work, editing, and your aquascaping skills! Keep up the amazing content! Subscribed and liked 😊
Thank you John! So glad you liked it. Hope you like the next ones!
Probably the best video quality uploaded to youtube. 100% sub👍 Looking forward for more uploads!!
thank you bro !
Auto subscribe 👌 Can't wait to see more of your projects! This is gonna be a great adventure 😊
Thank you! There will be plenty of fun projects coming :)
Came across your IG and was excited to see you posting to YT. Keep up the amazing work!
Welcome to the channel!!! Glad you're liking what I have so far :)
Nice video man, hope I can see more videos from you. Very interested
😀😀
More will come!
Great stuff Anthony, this was relaxing to watch, excited for future content!
Subbed, liked and shared 🎉😎
Thanks Tom! Appreciate you bro
I’ve been waiting for this!! Look forward to your videos 😊
Appreciate you!!!
Nice tank !!! Not sure that vampire crabs and shrimps are really compatible. Shrimps will be highly stressed by the presence of crabs 😉
Hi! They have managed to live together peacefully I haven’t witnessed any crustacean on crustacean crime 🤣
@@buiscape possibly due to your harsh gun control laws and booming economy, just my guess
you have very interesting content and i'm looking foreword to seing more
Thank you for the support!
You have created a wonderful magnificent natural environment.
Thank you!
Quality visuals 🔥 need to see more!
Thank you bro!!
Great start! I really love your style in Instagram. And now here 😃
Thank you!!!! Welcome to the channel :)
Hope to see more beautiful videos!!
Thank you Mohamed, I'm excited to make more :) Appreciate the support
Well, now I need to make a crab tank!!!
More videos please!!
Will do! Planning out the next one as we speak :)
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.
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 Can't wait for the new video to drop, I hope your videos gets the recognition it deserves cause you're super underrated! And thanks for clarifying some stuff!
please post more your vids are so relaxing and creative!
Thank you!
Amazing build! Very beautiful and creative. The camera quality is perfect as well. Do you not have to worry about the crabs eating the shrimp or snails though?
I haven’t seen them eat shrimps or snails! They’ve fought each other though …
Beautiful
hello, you inspired me to build my first paludarium using vampire crabs and i love your hardscape, do you happen to have like a sketch or a picture of the hardscape before adding the HC cuba? or can you tell me what the bottom of the hardscape is made of, is it just stone stuck together or did you stick stones to a false bottom? i have an idea to do something similar using star moss.
Hi! Thank you for watching my video. On my Patreon I actually just recently uploaded the blue print for this build. A visual guide to see the hardscape before and after. I balanced the stone for this design, no glue was used.
Here is the link for my post: www.patreon.com/posts/crab-tank-blue-104940428?Link&
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.
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
Hi, AMAZING build! May i know what size tank you used?
This was a 7 gallon cube :)
Do you ever have to clean the tank and how do you do it and how often? Like would the water quality go bad for the shrimp without filter or water changes? Great content and amazing quality video here!! Excellent job!
I have to wipe down the glass, clean any water marks. Water evaporates quickly so I fill this tank back up every week or week and a half. Water quality hasn't gone bad for months :) Thank you!
Dude... That was amazing I found you on Instagram just and have followed you this is wicked!
thank you!!!!!
genial, que camara y lente usas para esas tomas?
Sony A7rv
This was your first video? Beautifully done. I dont suppose there's footage of the building process?
Thank you! New video coming tonight :)
Hi
You use tap water or RO?
I used tap water for this !
What kind of food do you feed the crab?
Fish pellets, bugs and they pick on plants
Very beautiful vid and calming voice, love it... could you pls make a step by step Tutorial 🪴, or pls just say what lamps do you use for this tank?
Thank you, light is ONF. I will be glad to do more step by steps I have another video coming soon
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
Beautiful scape. How big is your tank?
7 gallons
do you know if spring tails can mess with the growth of your house plants outside of the tank?
I’ve only used it for this tank so far, so I’m not too sure with how they respond to other tanks!
Other plants *
That is a great video .❤👍
thank you!
2 Questions. Do you feed the shrimp? Do the snails climb out without a lid?
Shrimps eat the same pellets I feed these crabs
Do you have a build guide? Have watched a ton and would love to hear your process! Trying to figure out what will work for me
Currently working on my next project, I have a lot of request for a build guide. It is something in the pipeline.
Love the build did you use a water pump in it?
No pump !
May I ask if you find the crabs to actually eat the plants or just dead plant parts? I’m thinking of putting some in a tank with orchids and don’t want them to gobble up some more expensive plants. The build and the video is amazing!
The crabs do eat on dead plants in the tank, but they haven't been plant destroyers! Your orchids may work, but I can't say for certain. Thank you!
What kind of camera did you use? Im looking to showcase mine and even the highest quality phone cant capture half as good quality as this.
Sony A7rii for this video
What's the tank size? And what soil did you use
Hey, so im thinking of starting one of these, but when im going out on vacation/holiday , how can i make so they don't die? like add alot of insects and leave them ? because i dont want to have the stress of coming back and all i see is dead animals, also with the shrimps do we need to feed them also?
I've left this project for a week and the crabs were fine. However if you're going on longer trips I would suggest leaving a lot of insects for them as they'll eat accordingly. Springtails are a source of food for them, and I've seen them eat a bit of the plants too.
@@buiscape Im thinking of preparing the tank before adding them, like letting some plants grow, adding little snails and shrimp, possibly adding some water snails aswell and then after 1-2 weeks adding the springtails + other animals, and then adding the crabs so even if i go on a trip they can hunt the spring tails, grass, some ground worms etc.
Hello!
Amazing video!
What kind of substrate did you put in the center?
Is the water and substrate enough to create enough moisture for the plants above?
Do you have to calculate the water level beforehand to have some substrate on top?
Lots of questions :)
Thanks
Tropica soil :)
I’ll do a more thorough explanation video
Oh thank you !!!@@buiscape
what happens if/when the snails breed and theres a lot of them in the tank? do you just remove the snails you dont want?
I’ve never had success breeding these snails but if there’s excessive snails of any sort you can always remove and rehome them.
Nice and clean.
thank you for watching!
Do you need a heater?
Only if your room is cold
Where do you get your springtails ?
Reptile stores
This is amazing aquascape, love to see the details of the hardscaping.
What is the size of the tank?
7 gallons
No idea why but I had to resub again..
TH-cam being TH-cam i guess...
Do you have to trim the baby tear’s?
Occasionally if I see dead ones
Amazing build! My son is crazy about keeping this crab as a pet. How do you maintain the temperature in the tank?
Very low maintenance, check out my Instagram for more information on them!
I’m obsessed
I'm glad! haha
@Buiscape how big is the tank?
7 gallons
great project, very nice
Thank you my friend!
Hi there, I'm new to this. For the HC Cuba, I'm seeing recommendations for CO2 to thrive, but yours is doing great? Ty 👍
@@wanik4 no need for CO2 above water
@@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. Any other advice with any bacteria to establish the tank early on? Add snails and cleaner crew before surface plants?
Nice video.. may i ask if your crab species is Geosesarma Aurantium?
These are APRICOT VAMPIRE CRAB (GEOSESARMA SP.)
Nice short documentary👍
Thank you !
what substrate did you use?
Tropica soil
Amazing setup! Planning on getting some vampire crabs but how can I keep the land area warm enough for them? Also thought that they ate shrimps and snails so how do you prevent that from happening and are springtails necessary or can the snails and shrimp do a good enough job? (What types of shrimps and snails and springtails should I get?)
They do fine in room temperature, no need for heat. They’re fairly durable little specimens. Spring tails will help with the ecosystem in the tank and act as food for crabs too
do your crabs breed in this setup?
I’ve seen mating happen but no successful babies
Very cool.
what kind of rock are you using
Seiryu Stone
What do you do for humidity and heat
Nothing :) it’s a self sustaining project in room temperature
♡ love it
thank you!
hi! Do they ever try to escape?
Can’t climb up dry glass
Vampire crabs are the most gorgeous crustaceans that I have ever lay eyes on. I'm thinking of creating a beautiful eden for them, plus a variety of different social society of fish and shrimp to live together. Some day when I get a place of my own.
well done! do you ever have issues with fruit flies / gnats in the tank?
No I haven't, I've seen my crabs catch an Alate!
What camera do you use?
Sony A7rii
Really liked this vid do the snails escape?
Surprisingly no! My snails escape my other aquariums but these all stay within the tank for some reason…
Do you use anything as a heater?
No heater!
That's awesome! Beautiful scape, love your videos@@buiscape
and this one sir, what is the size , thnx thnx in advance..
7 gallons
i had 2,now 12 and big, changed them to bigger tank, and planted montecarlo, and now in this vid, i saw them eating cuba, there4 i know why MC dissapear
I loved ❤
thank you!!!
Is the carpet of plants just growing on the rocks, or is their some other substrate there?
There’s substrate around the rock but once it starts to grow it can start growing on and over the rocks !
It’s possible to grow this without substrate, it just needs a moist base.
@@buiscape what is the name of the plant?
You’re going to have to teach me your ways…
will the spring tails escape without a lid?
They can’t jump too high, they all stay within the ground level of the tank
Onde vende??? 😍😍
Do you sell that plant?
haha unfortunately not!
Hi again! Was wondering, how are the crabs not dried up without a lid? I'm afraid if I do this they would dry up fast without a lid..
Also I asked a vampire crab keeper if I can make something like this but they told me it lacks vegetation that the crabs wouldenjoy climbing on, and that it's not humid enough :(
The caves I’ve created has a lot of moisture, the water level keeps the cave very moist where the crabs like to hide.
Also how do ur baby tears not dry up on that higher area? Do u spray water on it?
The water at the bottom keeps the soil wet all the way to the top :)
What shrimp would you recommend for a red devil vampire crab tank.
Cherry shrimps are a good start as they're hardy and easy to keep! The more rare shrimps will most likely need specific parameters.
What is the plant?
HC Cuba
Do you have a step by step process on how you created this?
Yes I do
love this work, maybe a step by step build tutorial?
Definitely will add that as something to do in the future !
@@buiscape would love that!
I would love to see that too. You isnpired me to make my own crab tank
What light are you using?
ONF LIGHT
Great photography. Love the peaceful vibes. Great setup. Thanks for sharing, bro.
Thank you Jesse I appreciate the kind words and your appreciation for my work!
I wanted to build something just like this but I couldn’t find any videos, then I found this channel and it’s amazing. The tank is beautiful, the animals are awesome and your information makes it all the best. Keep up the great work man because you just earned a new subscriber.
Thank you, hope you like my next video!
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.
That’s awesome, love your crab content! They do have interesting personalities and it’s not until you have them you start to see. There are shy ones and really brave ones. Really quirky for sure haha
Very Good Video. Can you show how you Build a tank like this
Yes that will be the next video :)
