I like seeing a new type of tank as a fiddler crab owner myself. Mine has mostly sand and a little water, I like how your’s is all water but I would recommend keeping a lot of sand out of the water cause fiddler crabs dig holes in sand and we don’t want them to drown. Just a suggestion
Hes not an expert so he doesn't know I have four crabs and I put mud in the tank so they can burro in it and brackish water and some rocks and stuff for it to chill on
Check out the underwater crab habitats that I have for my crabs. I have to make sure the top of the tank is more secure with under water the underwater habitats but I don’t have to worry about cleaning the water line. Make sure to give them places to hide and places to for the males to perch and show off.
I think a sponge filter would have been a better option as they can graze on it. You should also consider adding more land, like mopani or river wood if you have multiple males, it just lessens the competition for land. Nice vid btw
A sponge on the intake also gives them a place to graze... or you can throw in some moss balls. I would definitely add drift wood. Make sure you place it so they have places to hide. It may be a little frustrating for them to hide a lot but they it keep them happy.
Thanks for this video! I'm interested in Fiddler crabs at PetSmart/Petco and omg, they're the cutest little things. However, I do have a question about the filter. I recently had a black moor but he passed and since I have the 10 gallon tank with its pump that uses PF-S filters, etc...would it work the same for filtration? I have decorations but do need the sand which isn't an issue and how about tank changes? How does that work?
I had two hermit crabs and one killed the other for its shell BUT WAIT I bought freaking new shells for them to go in BUT NOOOO he wanted jimmys shell .... rip jimmy
Great video, I love using crabs for fishing bait but they are difficult to find so I want to have a tank set up so I can keep a supply when the bait shops are out of stock... has anyone had their crabs reproduce?
How do you tell if the fiddled crab is dead or not. . . ? I think I may have one that was given to me. he was fine till I woke up this morning and noticed he was upside down and not moving. . .is he dead?
For the fiddler crabs, is it legal to just catch some and keep them? Anyone have any success breeding them? How much room do they need out of the water - it doesn't look like they have a whole lot in that tank. Do you really need the light at all if your temperature is ok. I live in SW Florida and fiddlers live here naturally so I don't see why they would not be able to deal with the light and temperature on my lanai, which is outdoors.
Question... since I buy my water for salt tanks does anyone know how much saltwater I can mix with fresh water to get brackish? Like 1 gallon salt and one gallon fresh?
hi, I was watching your video, I F by chance you are just pouring your crabs or fish in ... you should allow the bags with the fish or whatever just sit in the water, for maybe 20 min or so and then little by little add to your water. Other wise they can go into shock. Just letting you know. Great video by the way !
👵🐟♎🦀🎥👍👍👍^~^ I want to get a live crab from the Asian food market I don't know if it is fresh or salt water I live in Massachusetts we have hard water I really want to do things the correct way before I get the animal thank you have a great day °¿°
Decent set up overall, but i would say a larger land area is better, really only 1/3 of the tank needs to be water as they eat and live mostley on land and really only use water for birth and moulting.
I'm having trouble finding g the correct info o. The right lights to use... my house is cold so I have a lizard backing light in my tank for heat. Is that ok? And ware do I place the food dish I haven't seen them eat. Please help just want what's best for them
Make sure not to allow your sand to be more than 2 inches thick. You run the risk of carbon dioxide build up and stirring it may poison the tank inhabitants. This is why I went with a finer gravel rather then sand. I have some areas 4 to 5 inches thick.

Trying to flex with your iphone much
qwerty wert if you look closely you can see 3
qwerty wert ik I was just thinking the same shit😂😂💯
crabs will be more territorial in smaller tanks so that's probably why one of your crabs is not very active

My crabs did the same thing but I introduced them to a snail and some ghost shrimp and you could totally tell a difference 🦀 is out a little more 🦀
you should have more shallow water and 5O% land (make the sand deep so they can bury themselves

I got my fiddler crabs from a lake
PBN trainers asosiation I got mine from Holmes beach FL
They are everywhere, now I have a 5.5 gal with a male and two females
Mine climbed onto me from the ocean
Same
Thanks for the knowledge young buck

Due to the low water level a sponge filter wouldn’t work well, if I still had this tank I would definitely consider adding some wood!

Your vids are great so helpful! Thank you!
Great video thanks man. Good job
So adorable the grab came out at the last minute
The marine salt is purely to keep the natural ph higher without having to constantly monitor it and keeping in from going under 7.
Great video! Just had to say. Exactly what we were looking for!
Your videos are fun to watch👍🏻
thank you for the help what you said about everything.
i am trying to get 1.
It worked
I miss having a fiddler crab :(
nice, informative.

Idk why everyone says they can escape, I doubt they can climb glass..can they?
Imagine going to walmart and not taking them from their natural home couldn't be me

FeatherGoose u did this comment twice in one vid wow
Great video, I love using crabs for fishing bait but they are difficult to find so I want to have a tank set up so I can keep a supply when the bait shops are out of stock...
has anyone had their crabs reproduce?
Me, it's happened aleast 4 times so far
Nice I like it
The lfs (local fish store) is always better to buy from..even if it's more expensive they do their job better
quality over quantity
Hey you make really good vids also can you make a update on your mbuna tank (cichlids)
Pengu sure
Chewy's Bro Aquatics thanks
A fiddler crab needs less water:° ok
Quick question where did you get that stair dock at that would help me a lot
i say he is the best fish youtuber better than big alls and diy aqapros
Thanks!
can you follow me on instagram at theoscarfishguy pls
do you need specific sand or can i use any type of sand?
Any type works!
does anyone know what type of filter he got or what I should get if I'm doing the same thing?
How do you tell if the fiddled crab is dead or not. . . ? I think I may have one that was given to me. he was fine till I woke up this morning and noticed he was upside down and not moving. . .is he dead?
If I were to have 1 or 2 fiddler crabs (preferably 1 but I don’t want him to be lonely), about how big would the tank have to be?
Best free bait went to the beach today and saw 100's fidler crabs

Why this man got so many iPhones? I mean like........ why
They loved to craw out of the 20 gallon tank?
Question... since I buy my water for salt tanks does anyone know how much saltwater I can mix with fresh water to get brackish? Like 1 gallon salt and one gallon fresh?
Is the salt bad for the filter?
I got one of this crabs and he just freaking died like an our ago
What filter did you use
Didn’t know they were brackish
How do you acclimate the crabs from the freshwater they’re kept in to brackish water?
They will adapt quickly because that is where they belong anyway.
They need more Land space

What does the crab look like?

thank you have a nice day ^~^
At least fiddler crabs aren't like crayfish and eat plastic plants
NICE

What kind food do they eat?
What sand did you use in your tank?
Petco’s brand sand beaches I had some extra on hand. You can always use pool filter sand though.
Make sure not to allow your sand to be more than 2 inches thick.
You run the risk of carbon dioxide build up and stirring it may poison the tank inhabitants.
This is why I went with a finer gravel rather then sand.
I have some areas 4 to 5 inches thick.
can i keep one by itself?
I believe you could
Chewy's Bro Aquatics so like one male or one female or does it matter
If crabs lose one of their limbs, they’ll grow back right?
I believe so
yep, my pet store accidentally got me 2 males. they started to fight, and one of their claws snapped off. it is now starting to grow back
Top much water
What do they eat?
Crab pellets or most fish food
Thanks.
Sir I have a question. Two back legs of my crab are broken. Will they regrow automatically?
I think they will when they shed
So can they bite you ?😂
No but they pinch
How bout an update
Adi Haiman I’ll do a 1 month update
Weird flex lmao
You should get more females
Lol this is a really bad set up
I had two hermit crabs and one killed the other for its shell BUT WAIT I bought freaking new shells for them to go in BUT NOOOO he wanted jimmys shell .... rip jimmy
Roflmao
I bet Jimmy was a lil bitch that's why he was killed
These are fiddler crabs, not hermits..duhhh

Damn! I’d say call Saul, but can’t anymore..
