Hi R2R community,

Is it possible to find Pitho Crabs easily in the wild? I've had success with hermit crabs, but have never found Pithos. Do you have to dig for them or what is their natural resting behavior like? (Central Florida: St. Pete and/or Stewart area).

In our aquariums, Pithos are normally nocturnal and spend the day under the sand.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 18 34.6%

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 7 13.5%

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 8 15.4%

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 11 21.2%

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 17.3%

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 8 15.4%

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 3.8%

  • I haven’t really considered this before

    Votes: 4 7.7%
