Crabs

[RobbieM]

I purchased a crab today. He seams to be settling in nicely. I forgot to ask my lfs what it might eat. I put bloodworm in for dinner this evening but it didnt seam interested.
Any ideas?

heres two parts of the same website, that might be usefull on more than just food, it's quite general though, not specific details on types of crabs

Mine love Hikari sining pellets for Corydoras catfish, or the new Tetra mixed pellets. The red ones are great for Crabs.

Mine would eat loads of bloodworms too, but have perfected the art of 'catching' the pellets as they fall, so I think they like em more

Thanks for your replies, I have a catfish and use normal sinking pellets.

The problem is that the fish seam to eat all the food before the crab can get at it, I will have a look for some of those red sinking pellets.
