wow someone bumped my old thread! eugene has been dead for quite a while now, and yes he was named after my.crabbs from spongebob

At least when someone asks you if you got crabs you can honestly reply NO now.


How are they in a community tank I see you think the angels got em but I find it hard to believe they did it when you have much smaller prey in the tank. Reason I ask is the wife is adamant on getting one.

Ive had 5 neons and 3 angels together for a while, no one fights at all.

I used to have a couple of red claw crabs which is what Eugene was, also kept them in a community tank with smaller fish such as guppies, if anything I found the fish were more at risk from the crabs than the other way around! I had them for about 6months or so and they shed their skin and grew ( I often thought they were dead when I found their skin too! ) but then they reappeared, I did find that they needed an area of land to get out of the water though and are not truly aquatic as most people think, so I made them a little beach area with some bogwood sticking out of the water and then attaching a tray to it filled with sand, they spent alot of time up there, just make sure you have a tight fitting lid! they both died in the end and yes I made sure it wasn't just a moult! the smell gave it away although I also read that they don't survive too long in a freshwater environment as they would do if there salt in the water, although I was under the impression they were freshwater crabs? still of the few months I had them I found them to be fascinating little creatures
