[loza_1211]

Hey. well.. ive had my tropical tank for a year now so alls fine with everything. thing is i have A Biorb. and have just brought some Red clawed crabs (two) so i just wanna know if it would be better for them to be in a Square Tank rather than Circular one And how big Can they grow up to?

cheers

Unless you are going to modify the biorb, then no it will not be suitable, Reef one do not recommend keeping bottom feeders in these tanks,

Red Clawed Crabs (Sesarma Bidens) are actually a brackish water, land crab, that get to around 2-3"
I would be looking at a standard 15G for the two crabs

I know about modifying the tank. they both are able to reach dry land etc.. but was just wondering would it be easier to handle them with a square tank.
And thanks for the size info.
