Good Morning all.
Well, I just love new finds..
This morning Lowman (bob) was in the store and I mentioned I had 2 Pom Pom crabs in. "where are they" he said. So we went looking for them, and guess what? The first one found is full, I mean FULL of eggs.
Told Bob he couldn't have her (being selfish here) cause IF the eggs hatched, he wouldn't see or find the babies (not to mention they would be somethings food).
I decided to set up one of those little Deco Art aquariums (under 7 cups water), put some sand and water from the tank she was in, and added her to it.
So I now have a little maturnity ward set up and will watch to see how many eggs do hatch, and how many do survive.
Questions for all.
Do crabs really require water movement as much as fish? I don't think so, cause most of the time you find crabs under rocks away from the current. But, please let me know your thoughts.
If there is no water movement, how will she catch her food? Or does she scrape it off the rock?
If water movement, does anyone have a very very very small pump laying around that I could use for this little maturnity ward. The tank (HA, tank) measures 5 3/4 inches square.
I need batteries for my camera, so as soon as I get them, I will post pictures of her.
