  • After releasing the micro crabs in their new home I haven't seen much of them at all. So I started to wonder if they were still alive...

      I'd absolutely keep the crabs and install a "moonlight" spot light that turns on in the evening when everything else turns off.

    Thai micro crabs are cool but yes they are very good at hiding and will also bury themselves into the substrate to hide. I've found they don't like bright light at all so I created a dark section with plants and rock. Which is where i see them out the most.

  • @so_so_reef

  • @KaiserToons

    Thai Micro Crabs are nocturnal and prefer the roots and lower steps of bunched plants such as rotala indica and java fern. They also seem to be somewhat filter feeders but also bit pickers like cherry shrimp, which puts them in competition with cherry shrimp. Odds are a good number of them died as the vegetation doesn't provide the right ecosystem, I have a much better success with them in mixed vegetation aquariums where there are clear areas like that but plenty of wood and bunch plant backgrounds. I personally think they might do better in the first aquarium you showed us with the water change, plenty of roots for them to forage in and rocks and wood to burrow in.

  • @IndoorEcosystem
    @IndoorEcosystem ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Those crabs are purely nocturnal so you need to watch them with a blue RGB light or moon light on your tank to get the best results. They are kinda of a little side addition to have with shrimp. If you see them yay! If not oh well.

    1. Make it more wabi kusa style and call it a day

    3. Move them to a fish bowl, with immersed plants up top, and lots of roots, thin sticks coming down, think Serpa did something like that. Gives lot more visibility.

    @mattphillips6714 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Heads up people… Don’t add sand to a tank with your filter running, not only is this a way for sand to enter the filter and damage the impeller but also for sand to stick to the biofilm on your expensive glassware and cause scratches when you clean them with pipe brushes..

  • @MrTheWaterbear
    @MrTheWaterbear ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love those little guys, though. You really NEED a tank with a ton of floating plants and a ton of crabs to see them during the day - they prefer hanging out in the roots of floating vegetation if it’s dense enough :)
    Also, for me, they usually came out around feeding time. At least they have that much going for them, regardless of setup. Might take them a little while to get comfortable enough, but they should get better with time.

    Nice update. The practicalities of maintenance is really handy to show. I'm just about to get a 100litre having only had nanos before and wondering how to do water changes quicker. Thanks for the insights. Interested to know if you have had any issues with the blade type scraper? I only use a cleanator sponge having heard they can be risky, but it looks a lot simpler and drier with a blade!

    • @MJAquascaping
      @MJAquascaping  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The blade type scraper is great but does not work well in corners. So I usually take the scraper for the bulk of the algae cleaning, and a sponge or a toothbrush for the finishing touches.

    First, your tanks are so nice👍🏽. Crazy how your artist re scape your tanks and completely tear them down. I feel like tanks look better in time but I’m no aqua scape artist. I was planning on making a tank with an underground cave system for those crabs and maybe it will trick them into not being so shy. Also, above the cave I would like to add vampire crabs that would go in and out of the water🤷🏽 along with plenty of live plants of course🥰

    It looks like there are a lot less fish in this tank than you started with. Has the balance in the tank been a struggle? I remember a video in which you talk about the Apisto loss, but were there problems with the shoaling fish as well? (I am not being critical but as a relatively new keep of fish, reading about or watching people talk about their problems is the best content because it helps me understand what's happening in my own tanks.)

    • @MJAquascaping

      All the other fish are still doing well! Because of the maintenance and me moving in front of the tank they were hiding a lot. If you watch the video I posted last Wednesday you will see them better.

    Tanks are looking great as usual! You should pull your cpds out of their tank and stick them in another tank. Last time I did that and left the tank alone with just shrimp after about a week I had a bunch of cpd fry pop up. I’m curious if it was luck or if you might have the same outcome as I did. They were tiny and stuck to the glass at first. I had 18 out of about 40 survive all ended up being females though but an awesome experience
