Rainbow Crabs

[shooter tom]

just an update on my new crabs

this is the second day of my new crabs and i love them. i have 1 male and 3 females in a 23 gallon tank and they all get along great. i have a turtle dock which they like to sit on above the water but then try to escape from! anyone got any advice on keeping these crabs as my knowledge is limited on them. pics on the way! tom

Rainbow crabs are actually an african land crab so really should have a much larder land space than water,
They are expert escape artists as you are now finding, This is generally because in the wild they travel miles over dry land and therefore feel enclosed when little land space is given for them to explore

IME they also thrive just as well in freshwater
