Buying Crabs

[jash93]

I live in Hong Kong and I want to buy some Halloween Crabs...
but there are not much pet stores that sells Halloween Crabs...
there was one pet store that usually sell them but the shop owner doesn't sell them anymore...
you guys have any sites or shops that I could buy the Land Crabs from...?
and I would like to also buy Patriot Crabs...
because now I got two 10 Gallon tank at home...
one for my Halloween Crab and one for my Patriot Crab...
you guys have any information on how to get these crabs...?
thanks in advance~

Hi,
Sorry, my english isn´t as good as yours, but i think a 10 Gallon tank (like 38l (american gallon) up to 45l (english gallon)) is to small for these crabs

Hello and welcome aboard the Panzerwelten Forum

Sebastian is right about the size of your tanks. The only crabs that might fit in are Geosesarma species.

For more information about the Halloween crabs, please read here:

And where to buy when you live in Hongkong .... no idea! But as many crabs are exported via Hongkong, just look for them. They must be available somewhere ;-)

Hi jash,

information about the "patriot crab" You find here: http://www.panzerwelten.de/forum/thread-1012.html . For a single specimen You would need at least a 100 gallon tank, when it gets bigger something about 130 gallons! So these crabs are really nothing for the small tanks You got there.

Even for the Gecarcinus crabs (Halloween crabs) 10 gallons would be way too small.

Regarding crabs in Hongkong we have no information here, sorry. But some people from China and Hongkong are reading here and maybe they post some info for You.
