What do I need to know about a river crab?
Hi! I wanted to get a pet, a blue Papuan river crab. But what do I need to consider with the crab? What kind of aquarium should I get? What kind of food should I eat? What should I expect from it? What behavior should I expect from it? Can they eat fruit like watermelons or kiwis? Can I give them live bait? Etc.

Aquarium:
At least 80 cm of edge length, higher substrate, hiding places (eg, caves and tubes, roots, rock structures—he digs, so build everything securely), part of the bottom covered with leaves, water temperature between 20-25 degrees Celsius (but he tolerates considerably higher temperatures). Make sure the aquarium is well covered!
Feeding:
They are omnivores and therefore require both plant and animal food (live and frozen food). Leaves are ideal as a permanent food source in the aquarium.
You can plant the aquarium, but it is best to use epiphytes such as Anubias or Java fern.
Hi, that's a question that's too long to answer.
Google will help you with all the necessary information about the posture etc.
