ID is correct

[ABC]

There was only 3 females for 50 crabs

It is said – we don't know if it is true – that no females are caught because they are used for breeding. These crabs are used for nutrition also.

Possible, some seller mistakes (in ids of crab sex) have place in big orders. It's strange but in orders of WC Geosesarma bicolor sex rate was 1:7-9 (much more males).

[Ollie Mengedoht]

Males are at least caught more often for one reason: Often they are more beautiful and have more or stronger colors than females.

That with freshwater crabs females are hold back for breeding is another reason which seems not often to be the case – but here it is.
