Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[saltyfilmfolks]

Ever set up a tank to house a bad guy? My son wants to set up our 8 gallon to keep the gorilla crab in until we find him a nice cozy sump. Still haven't caught him.

Does the crab peek out at feeding time?

Most of my crabs generally always have. So after a while they get trained and will demand to be fed.

No. Only saw him one day. I've been trying to lure him with food. He is about the size of a half dollar.

Now I know how my mom felt with me growing up. I had so many little critter

I did it short term with a 10 gallon when I was removing fish and a Nem before bringing them back to the LFS. Not sure I'd do it for a crab. This might be one of those times where telling Jr. the crab went to "live on a farm" is on the table ;)

He said you're a monster! Lol

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Wow. He's not small.

Here's one that seems just to simple.

Don't have a shot glass. We drink out of the bottle for that. Would a glass votive candle holder work?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Yes. It appears even a drinking glass that will fit works.
The second link has some tips and tricks.

 

[Katrina71]

Thank you.

I think its time you changed the title of your thread!! You got another 21 gallons to account for ;)

Did you get the Gorilla yet?

 

[Katrina71]

No. Got a tank for him though! Lol. The Mandarin didn't make it...I'm glad I specified 2 weeks of feeding before we took him home. Kiddo is pretty bummed about his dream fish.

 

[Katrina71]

Look who I caught...he is in crab jail in the tank for now

[Scurvy]

Yep, he sure looks like a Baaaad man!

Crabzilla got adopted:)

@brett_schn I see Irma is headed your way. Are you guys heading north? Y'all are welcome here.

 

[Katrina71]

My parents live in Sebring and are planning to ride out the storm. At least so far.

 

[Katrina71]

My son's tank in his room is getting wet tonight. He will be so surprised!

We are riding it out under mandatory evacuation. Thanks anyway. My grandma in key largo is riding out the storm too. My fish are being moved into 5g buckets with bubblers. We might go 10miles inland if we need to get out. The buckets will be thrown in my dad’s truck. If it floods bad you will probably see a video of me water skiing and wakeboarding on the highway behind my dad’s truck go viral lol. Or u will see me trying to rescue people with my motor kayak
