What type of crabs do you have? Breeding freshwater crabs is extremely difficult, the larvae are microscopic almost and almost impossible to feed. They are highly cannibalistic also and spread out across wide distances in the wild to prevent this.

Most 'freshwater' crabs travel to seawater to breed and hatch, unless you can provide a tank with a sandy beach and salt water, with a brackish mangrove section its unlikely you will ever have crabs old enough to sell. I have heard almost no reports of succesful breeding of crabs in a domestic enviornment, but you never know, you could be lucky
