Ive looked far and wide for a completely fresh water dependant crab! Parathelphusa panthernia appears to be just what ive been looking for but is it all of what little ive read it to be?
so here we go!
#1 T or F - Ive read it does not require a land portion for its habitat and can purely stay in a fully filled aquarium.
#2 T or F - It IS completly Fresh water, NO BRACKISH or full marine needed.
#3 T or F - They grow to a decent size, 3 inch on just the shell, but with legs around 5 inch, and thus the minimum tank size is 5 gallons per crab (2 for a 10 gallon)
#4 T or F - They will eat or uproot plants, even the toughest leaves are not safe from their grasp!
#5 T or F - They WILL eat any sort of dwarf crayfish, shrimp or fish that it can catch or get a hold of somehow.
Anyone with knowledge on these crabs PLEASE help with these easy T or F questions! I have a 10 gallon all ready and waiting for either these panther crabs (prefered), dwarf crays, or Aegla sp. argentina (if i could even find any)
