I'll also be receiving these from the ebay seller soon. I dont think they would climb out of the tank? I might adjust the lid or add a condensation tray though to make sure.

they are really really tiny and i dont think they would climb out , when i got mine i emptied them into a small 3"x2" tupperwear type box to check i got them all out of the bag, thats how i got the pics
YOU would not see them if they climbed out the tank
the smallest is 2mm and the largest was about 5mm

Not seen them again lol
will have a good look at feeding time tomorrow shrimps know where i drop the pellets so hopefully crabs will learn aswell

do you need a bit of dry land for these crabbies?

 

[three-fingers]

Nope. That's why they are special .

[jourdy288]

Can you breed them?

 

[pippoodle]

Can you breed them?

it says they can breed in captivity so will just have to wait and see if they do

There's videos of the larvae been posted on other forums, as well as pics of them mating.

Seem to breed in the same way as freshwater ghost shrimp - release free swimming larvae that then moult into little crabs .
