Can you keep a crab/crab in a 70 liter scapers tank?
I'm going to get a 70-liter Scapers tank instead of a 60-liter Cube from Dennerle. I'd like to keep a crab or a crayfish in this aquarium. I'm just wondering if it's big enough to hold a crayfish or a crab that's about 10cm long (eg, a Florida crayfish). The Scapers Tank is only 50cm…

Keeping purple Matano crabs together?
Hello there, I'm planning to get a purple Matano crab for a 100-liter tank. The tank is new and doesn't have any inhabitants yet. My question is, does it make sense to add a catfish to the tank, or is it not a good idea for this type of crab? I've already read that you…
