nice bright claws, pretty sweet looking!

 

I really like those!

 

those are amazing...can we see more FTS???

 

sweet! Now you can keep those with thumbnails, right? Kidding!

 

makes me want a few!

 

Those guys are too cool!

 

very nice! Those are definitely on the list

 

Very cool critters haha
what size tanks are they in?

 

we need more info: Where did you get the crabs? where did you get the moss and what more can you tell us about it?

 

The crabs reside in 10 gallon vivs - nice and simple.

I got the cb vampire crabs from a local frogger, and the wcs from a guy I know that vends at a lot of the same reptile shows I vend at. He tends to get some neat stuff in, and holds onto critters for a bit before he sells them.

I work for JoshsFrogs.com, and we ordered in some small portions of the moss to try out for ourselves. I believe that some will be for sale on the site in the next couple weeks. There are also two other varieties, that I'll be trying in some vivs I hope to complete over the Thanksgiving holiday.

 

I tried sooo hard to find some vampire crabs in Montreal. I posted everywhere, asked every pet store. They are impossible to find so I gave up and got some darts hehe.

Congrats on them, the setup looks awesome too!

 

Well I am sure if Zach is successful in breeding them ... they will appear on Josh's frogs.

 

Jw, but what do you feed those guys?

 

They eat pretty much anything. So far, they've eaten 1/8th inch crickets, fruit flies, fish flake food, a bit of raw chicken, and some banana. They also love to eat springtails.

 

I have a nice sized hex tank that I'll be setting up for them. Once my friend reseals it that is....

they are unreal looking, very very beautiful

 

How skittish are they? I heard that they tend to run off every time you walk near the tank. Also, have they started making any burrows yet?

 

They have started burrowing. The purple ones are a bit skittish, but the red/orange ones are almost always out.

 

Update?

I've been wanting some of these for a while now. Even have a tank set up and planted. Just cant find them.

 

Shrimp/crabs

from my previous conversations with this fellow, he seems to carry them quite regularly

 

These crabs are interesting. From what Ive read online about them on here and other places I assume they are kept like dart frogs. Also an interesting note that they eat bananas,raw chicken and fish food. When I see them I think hmm maybe someday get some. Anyways,nice looking crabs and set up you have there.

 

They are all doing well. There is a nice network of burrows in the vivs now, and they are much more visible.

 

Got a group of 6 of these beauties last week:

Also got a group of 4 yellow vampire crabs, that are not very cooperative when it comes to taking pictures.

 

Nice! I always have an eye out for these guys.

 

Have you noticed any peculiarities about the red species? I just got a pair from my LFS and I can't find any specifics for the red ones.
