    New Hermit Crab and setup

    *EDIT* More pics Post #12
    Got another hermit crab yesterday. I like even numbers.

    No pictures of him (he's currently in isolation for a couple of weeks) but here are some shots of the current 7 and their new tank set up.

    What size is the crabotat? How often do you have to upgrade their shells? Are they very active?

    Cool pics.

    Phred, we have eight crabs now.

    Blue,
    It's a 20 gallon long tank. I haven't bought any new shells lately. I have a large variety of shell sizes so they have a collection to play with and sometimes they swap shells just for the heck of it vs. needing to move into a larger shell.

    They are mostly active at night but they are more active than usual since it's a new setup to explore.

    Are they like nocturnal fish with a red light so you can watch them? I miss watching my catfish and rays with the red lamps.
