Hi
I was wondering if any of you keep crabs as pets..?

in my stomach, yes
 

They are scavengers right? So they like to eat rotton stuff? If you keep changing the water and getting rid of rotton stuff, I guess they will die.
 

Yah, but some aquariums do sell those food sticks that is for Crustacean (eg. shellfish or shrimps)


Looks like they don't last long.. I saw so many rare brackish mangrove crabs
at a Yishun pet shop $13 for each crab.

I was thinking of buying one , taking my macros then
giving it away to someone who wants to have it..

This is a wild one I found in Jurong.

The complexity of the design makes it a very interesting macro subject

In bishan they're selling the hermit crabs.
 

Then again, there's always the "crabs" you get from the Hotel 81 freelancers...
 

That is a nice one.
I used to keep those small lobsters and shrimps (Cherry, mosquito and bumble bee), but they dead. So I give up already.

I will be scared to keep one. What if they get a good grasp on you with one of those claws? :eek:

Maybe they are not meant to live that long anyway... What is their lifespan? Maybe you gave them a good life while they are alive... so not so bad. ;p
 

Man, hope I wish to keep these crawfish again. I gotten 2 albino ones a few years back but both dead. I don't want to cause anymore death. :(

Are they crayfish or crawfish?

Wow...these pets are not easy to keep. Unless you can really create a "real natural habitats" for them if not they will dead easily.......

If they look like they are dying... just take them out and cook them. ;)
