Vampire Crab Babies

[redsono93]

I am so suprised as well as to the aggression. I wonder if I have a ton of males and maybe not enough females. They are in a 45 gallon tank with 75% land and 25% water the pool is huge and 6 inches deep. They love the water. Maybe I will upload pics of the tank for you. The babies are all around the shore line where it is very wet. I have been feeding babies al kinds of food. Mostly Flaked fish food crushed up and decapsuled brime shrimp. It's tiny enough for them to eat. How many babies does a mother give birth to? Do they give birth in or out of water? Will the adults eat babies? It's funny the babies are so tiny I thought I had a bug problem. Should I add more plants and or moss for them to hide from aggressive tankmates?
As far as food I feed them Hikari Crab Cuisine, Various Flake food, Canned Mini-crickets and meal worms, live fruit flies and pin head crickets. I try not to feed them veggies and or other foods because they rot and stink up the tank. They wont eat out of dishes I have to put the food in front of them. I heard dead leaves is a staple of there diet. I was thinking of getting dead leaves for beta fish on ebay. Is that a good idea? Sorry for so many questions I am just so excited that my crabs gave birth. I bought them as CP so I know they will all survive not like Wild Caughts. Thanks for all of your help :0)

Congrats

You can also use very fine (powdery) Food for rearing young fish. Spread it on the Landzone. That kind of food is suitable for very small crab-babies.

I am still surprised that your crabs are so highly aggressive. It sounds like there is some kind of problem, concerning their food or the aqua-terrarium they live in.
