Hermit Crabs

[PerryClem0842]

I was looking through the brackish forum and I saw some pictures of Mudskippers with Hermits, just wondering (considering my Mudskippers are 7") can I have some in there with them.
Also what do they eat, do they need to come out of the water and what saltiness do they need to live sufficiently in?
Thanks in advance Perry.

As far as I'm aware you either have full marine hermits or land hermits. Land hermits need mostly land with damp sand and literally a bowl of water... A small pool so long as it slopes for them to get in and out... They need a beach.

And they eat old fruit and veg.. They like rancid rotten foods and they stink!

Honest to god don't know why people want to keep them! They stink!!

Perry, why do you want Hermit Crabs???
Also your signiture states 4 common goldfish. Mine are not common goldfish, my 2 were Comets!!!!
Are you still trying to get rid of them???

60L isnt large enough...


Edit: also those comet goldfish....really need huge aquariums. They really are more so suitable for ponds than aquariums..id try and get rid of them as fast as possible..
