Freshwater Pom Pom Crabs - Amazing Peaceful Fully Aquatic Freshwater Crabs
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- The Pom Pom Crab (PTYCHOGNATHUS BARBATUS) is a fully aquatic freshwater crab. Perfect for nano tanks. They are peaceful, super active scavengers, omnivores, that will eat algae. They can take a wide range of temperature, some sources say down to mid 60s and up to 78 degrees and neutral ph.
I mentioned during your livestream, but in case you missed it, be careful with these guys as they'll crawl out of your tank if there are tall plants. I've had 3 do so.
Thanks for the tip, i did read they are escape artists. Got the tank pretty well secure.
Thanks for the tip! The wife wouldn't like that, just got 2 of these guys in today!
thanks for that intel
dothey eat fish?
thanks! i did not know that crabs are peaceful and can live in a community tank! We really wanted to get them for a while - now definitely are going for it! :D
How did it go?
When I was in Afghanistan we found crabs in the irrigation streams around the poppy fields. It was kinda neat.
These guys are adorable. Great job
Right when I think that I have seen it all you once again surprise me. Looks like an interesting safe addition to a shrimp only tank.
pompom crabs are so cool, wish they were available in my country more often
Wow! I was just looking at these on aquatic arts and now they're sold out! Very nice 👍🏼
The Fish Beast I am going to try and sell them too :)
Dude reserve some for me when you do pleeeeezzz
they are so hyper compared to the crabs i saw.... love these little guys.
Wow love those crabs. They were too look. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed them 👍
They are so cute❤
Those little guys are cool. Lol
Bro, I'm absolutely IN LOVE with your rainbows In the tank behind you In the beginning of this video
Oh my god now I have to have those. Ive always wanted some total aquatic freshwater crabs. They sound like alot of fun to keep.
Aaaaaaand something else to add to my want list...
Nice you bought a group of cheerleaders with Pom Poms! Gratz!
Caution... They are GREAT escape artists, might want to put something blocking the top of your air line tubing going OUT of the tank.
Bob has crabs! thumbs up
Nice find! Will be watchin the progress. Enjoy all your vids and LSs.
Thank you JD =)
I smell a new obsession
So kool! They are so animated.
Super fun to watch
I didnt think I would care about this video. Looks awesome man!!!!
I appreciate you clicking on it even though you didnt think you would care lol. 👍
Ha yea i look forward to seeing how they progress and what fish you can keep then with
Their just cute aren't they..😃
I don't have sand, but will gravel do as well for these guys?
Wondering the same thing
That's awesome! I may have to look for those for my community tank.
Absolutely worth it in my opinion.
I have one that came as a hitchiker on a plant, at least that is my best guess. He looks very similar to yours excerpt about half the size. He's in my small community tank
Wow, thats a pretty nice score
Would the fluval shrimp substrate be ok for them? It's not as fine as sand but not as big as gravel.
STEENFOTT'S GOT CRABS!!!
again!
lmao!!
Nice Cryptocoryne in the background 😎
okay I might be crazy but at 3:20, above the GH mineralize bottle, on the side of the mystery snail tank, is that a clutch of eggs on the outside? 😂😂😂
haha thats funny, i didnt even notice that.
Those are freakin cool. Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Thank Lumpydog 👍
5 gallon tank. Never seen my PomPom Crab, always hidden, then I put in a little of Aqueon plant food.. Soon noticed the crab is out and about, which is odd, next day its clearly dying. Both Aqueon and the seller of crabs should put a "little" effort to warn the public. A 3 word sentence, is all it takes.
Great video again Bob!
WOW they look really nice!
I think I want some now haha!
*_Keep up the good work and thumbs up!_*
When are you going live again? Today?
Thanks Danny, just got dont with my livestream. Next one is Thursday 5pm pst
Do they eat cheerleaders?
Hopefully
OMG. They rock I want some lol Thx for shearing
I know exactly what you mean! I live in the Pacific Northwest and grew up here. Now I know what to do :D
fully aquatic meaning they dint need to go above water right?
Yes
I have red crabs and they are amazing also 😊
I’m from Seattle but an Aussie import. Is it possible to order these little crabs? and his little crabs survive as long as they just have a little piece of wood 🪵 to climb out on but with a closed lid dirted tank. With a dirt tank while they dig up the🔝2 layers of sand? It sounds like I can not have any crab 🦀 as it sounds like they will mix up the dirt in with the sand cap 🧢 & just keep releasing it into the water 💦 column. What do you think?
Are they still going I’m having trouble keeping them alive I was getting them at the local Walmart my son really likes them would really like to have one that won’t die
holy smokes your Walmart still has fish? I haven't seen fish in a Walmart in ages. Which is a good thing.
Andy okey I also found out that water temperature better not vary much cause they are considered invertebrates is what the lady said
How are they doing? They're still alive or are they all died?
THAT ONE WALKED ON THE SIDE OF THE BUCKET!
Those are awesome! Can't wait to see the other ones in the community tank. Question. What is the beamswork led that you like?
just incase you haven't noticed there is a clutch of eggs on the outside of your apple snail tank! haha
Any updates on these guys. Thinking about adding them to my neo-only tank.
Cool littles crabbs...never seen those before
Hey bob, how big do they get and can you keep them with shrimp and guppies?
how small are they?
are they safe with a ropefish?
how fast do they breed?
Thank you? What do they eat?
Would you put them with a betta?
Yay I'll be the first to say it! Bob has crabs!! 😁 👍
Hi. I want to have a crab in my aquarium, but I don't know if they are aquatic or Amphibian!? if the die in water??
Hey Bob! Do you still have these creatures? If so, how are they doing?
I mean what would happen if I always keep it in water?
Does it taste good with salt?
Garlic
So how are these guys doing? I was just told that they are not fully aquatic and that they actually need brackish water too. What's your extended experience been?
Are they escape artists? They're gonna be so cool to watch eat algae!
Yes they are escape artist, need a tight secure top
Mine just got out I didn’t know about the escape part haha I still haven’t found it
Just a quick question. What do you feed your multis? All my store bought food they reject. I have made some hone made gel food which they love and fight over, they all come racing out of their shells or PVC piping to get the food but the minute it hits the bottom it gets ignored and messes up the tank. Any suggestion?
Do the mystery crabs have dark spots on top of their bodies? Thinking of what they could possibly be.
Kala C Ptychognathus Insolitus?
Do they need land and water
hey on your pleco livestream the question about breeding common plecos reason was its the only pleco i could remember the name to lol
haha =)
Steenfott Aquatics what is a good pleco to breed if im not experienced
Steenfott Aquatics also do u have an email
nice pick up Bob!
wow that is an awesome discovery, im looking into getting my hands on some
Hope you find some, they are well worth it
@@SteenfottAquatics impossible to find do you know of a sight that sells them?
Do they need a heater?
Do they need dry land to rest on or can they stay submerged 24×7 like fish???
Please tell me where I can purchase these?
I've been looking at these for a little while. Can I put one in my 5 gallon betta tank? How do I keep one from escaping? Will they eat veggies?
Those are soooooo coooooooool!!!
Nice video! What do you feed them?
Hi please help!
Need help identifying a crab
I’m looking to get crabs but don’t want to spend loads of money and would like them to be easy to maintain. What would I need to get to set up the tank? I only have a small tank. Do they need pumps etc? And what do they eat?
Bob the beard looks good man!
Haha i haven't shaved in so long
HI Bob.. awe they are so cute.. I don't know what I like better them or their name lol
You got a new subscriber!(:
Thanks for subbing
Do these crabs get along with smaller plecos?
hey can you or someone help me find info on watermelon crabs? now im keeping them like fiddler crabs, lots of brackish water and emerged sand. they seem to do ok but cant find if brackish water is really what they need, cuz theres some freshwater crabs to...they seem to do ok, but never see them eat
I got one but all he does is burrow and hide. Was so hard to find him to buy too. Feels like a waste cuz I never see him
will they try and escape from tanks?
nope, fully aquatic
Ayy another Washingtonian, thanks for the video!
great video and great crabs👍
We had a few of these in my tank but they died after my brother changed up the scenery a bit. I was upset; they were really cool when they were around. They were in a tank with quite a few fish. They were very shy.
How did they die?
@@Teezythadon I think there was some trace fertilizer in the water which did nothing to the shrimps but wiped out the crabs sadly.
@@FunerealObsessiondamn man I'm sorry and thanks so much for that answer
Panther crabs are larger fully aquatic pure freshwater crabs. You may want to invest in those
nice catch!
Are they still alive? When you say fully aquatic, do you mean that they don't require dry land at all?
I guess even shrimp will eat the young shrimp, but have you had any success keeping them with shrimp?
Are these large enough to not be eaten by a bala shark? Thanks!
Bob, what have you been doing to keep your mystery snails shells looking good?
Thinking the claw will grow back I heard?
do you think these crab would be able to be in a tank with a beta? or would they become fish food.
I think it depends on the betta, i have kept bettas with shrimp and guppies without issues.
wow! amazing crabs!
Nice pick up 🤠👍🏻
What about vampire crabs?
Can they be kept with guppies?
Yes they can =)
Hi! can you do a update on your longfin green dragon bristlenose pleco?
Can they be kept with like a betta and some guppies and tetras
Please reply I'm thinking of making a tank with maybe a betta with a neon tetra or guppies I'm hoping to see if I could add this
+Eric Morales that won't be an issue, the issue will be the bettas attacking guppies and tetras
Steenfott Aquatics so the crab wont attack the betta ?
Congrats !!!
Thanks =)
Do you think they could go in a community tank with a betta?
they're peaceful, as in they can live with other bottom dwellers and plecos?
Yup, so far they dont seem to care about anything else in the tank.
I just bought one of these about a month ago but it died a week ago, I was so disappointed they are cool
Sorry to hear that =(
We’re are they from..part of the world?
China
Do they climb on the filter in take??
Very cool
