hi there m8,
you can have frogs and newt in the same tank but it is best not to it less stress for the crabs. to have fish and shrimp in the same tank is no problem i have blue pearls in my tank and there is no problems at all, the nag a shrimp now and then but that is all.
post a images of you tank so i can se it, but form what you are saying here you seam to have a good set up there. just give them lots of spots to hide under and you will be safe.
i think you can get some crabs on ebay, im sure that i sa a seller there that only sells crabs and shrimps in the UK have a look and se what you can find. or you can just go to a local pet store and ask there if they can get some that is what i did over here in sweden.
Hi & welcome Dave,
please do not mix crustaceans and amphibians in one tank. The skin of amphibians is highly sensible and even a small "test" pinch from a crab could end in a serious bacterial inflammation. So we suggest not to mix these groups – although there may be other experiences.
Unfortunately I can't help in any way regarding the question of availability of any crabs in the UK, sorry.
Good day! I am from Russia. I can not find crabs not of nature! How can I order the crab from other countries? In Moscow, I'm one of the few people who have these crabs are bred. I was able to propagate crabs Geosesarma notophorum. But we are very few. There are plenty of crabs from Asia, but they die within a month, always! Therefore, Asian crabs we do not buy. There is only one option - to order from Europe. But these sanctions ... They can make it stop. At customs crabs can be listed as the food!
Who can help me? Thank you!
