Freshwater Crab Care & Buying Guide

Which freshwater crab suits your tank?

If you want a crab for a shrimp or fish aquarium, none of ours will suit it. Every crab we stock right now is a vampire crab (Geosesarma), a semi-terrestrial crab that needs a humid paludarium with a real land area and a lid that closes with no gaps.

Fully aquatic crabs such as Thai micro crabs are different animals with different needs, and we don't sell them. If a paludarium is what you're building, our vampire crabs are the ones to look at, and each line there needs an enclosure of its own.
