HOW MANY CRABS DO YOU HAVE,WHAT SIZES ARE THEY & HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THEM?- 3 quarter sized I have had them for 3 years
WHAT SPECIES OF CRABS DO YOU HAVE-PP
TANK # AND SIZE(S)- (1 tank 10 gallon
LID TYPE- screen lid I keep covered with a beach towle
SUBSTRATE USED- Eco Earth
HUMIDITY SOURCE- wet Eco Earth and water bowls with sponges
HEAT SOURCE- 3 heaters 2 on each side's 1 on the bottom
WHAT IS YOUR TEMP/HUMIDITY- temperature 80 and holding humidity 60-80
HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR WATER- I filter all my water plus I use spring water in all the bowls
HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR SALT WATER- pure sea salt or when I have it. HBH Calcium/Salt mix when I have some
WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR CRABS- depends on what kind of fruit we have in the house. HBH variety bites
WHAT TYPES OF HIDES/CLIMBS DO YOU HAVE- I have two cork logs, 1 old reptile climb wood(I can't begin to imagine what type of wood it is. and 1 fake plant that sticks to the wall of the tank
DO YOU HAVE AN ISOLATION TANK? not really but I could make one if necessary
HOW MANY EXTRA SHELLS AND WHAT SIZES DO YOU HAVE- 8 medium shells
DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM & ANY OTHER INFO YOU THINK APPLIES- I found sugar ants in my tank they were after the fresh cherries I had fed the crabs earlier in the day. I removed the cherries let the tank sit open for awhile then re-fed the crabs with a dry food. After that I covered the tank and cloroxed around it to break the trail and kill the sugar ants. My question is should I treat this surprise infestation of sugar ants like mites? And is it possible to wait to clean the tank out next week? I'll be out of town from today until Monday. If you think everything needs to be taken care of now I'll postpone my trip. please email me back at bigblade15@yahoo.com Thanks in advance
