- I've been getting requests to do a Vampire Crab build for years! It's something I've wanted to do, but I held off until the time was right. I've been trying to get them since last year, but they haven't been available until early last month. I've been building the colony since and am happy to have finally finished their new home.
I'm so glad to have finally done this and I'm excited to share more in the future. Enjoy!

EDIT: The crab seen at 12:16 is likely a different species than what it was sold to me as (G. dennerle). Mixing species isn't ideal and will result in fighting, which I was aware of. I assumed it was just variation in color, but others have said otherwise. I'm going to separate it from the rest of the colony and closely observe the others to see if there are more imposters. Always something new to learn. 😅
So glad to have finally done a build for vampire crabs! What do you think and what else would you put in here? I have a few things in mind already, but I'm curious what you think. Let me know and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
happy easter

Ghost shrimp or any other types of shrimp
You sir are the bob ross of botany and ecology when it comes to Aquariums, paladariums and etc.
Hehe…

Is Bob Ross an American? I've never heard of him.
He obviously isn't David Attenborough.
To be completely honest, this is one of the most realistic paludariums i have ever seen. The black lava rock and the sand go really well with bright green plants and mosses, i love how it turned out. I would also say that the lights are at a perfect brightness, they still leave a lot of darkness for the crabs but illuminate the branches and plants sticking out of the background. One last thing is the branches, the way you placed them and made them look cohesive is beyond me. really good job, honestly.
Great to finally see a vampire crab build! I love all the branches they both give the crabs a means to avoid fights AND look amazing!
You and Dr. Plants are one of the few people who I’ve seen successfully house these amazing creatures! They’re famous for being one of the hardest animals to keep healthy and happy in captivity. Well done!
This is a magnificent ecosystem habitat. Museum quality, thatn you for the fantastic video, looking forward to seeing the baby crabs
Gorgeous! I’m definitely keen to see a follow up on this build to show the plants grown in and the crabs populating the space a bit more.
I agree😊
Man this scape looks UNREAL! Such an underrated line of work.. and such an amazing form of art.
Dude, i really respect how you don’t just get an animal off people’s requests alone; you get one when the time is right. A lot of creators wouldn’t do that, and subsequently not be able to care for the animal in question right or in a sustainable manner. That takes some knowledge to do, and understanding of the art you practice
Thank you for that; your animal husbandry, and respect for the animals are both just a breath of fresh air..
This is such a Tanner build, combining all the knowledge of paludariums with the waterfall concepts in your terrariums. So good!
A video that 14:36 long contains sooo many hours/days of work! This is beautiful and I love the crabs! 🦀
Now I understand the week delay. Wow! It’s fabulous! What an amazing feature to display the vampire crabs. 🦀 I love how you create the environment to the animals needs. They will thrive and bring years of enjoyment to you. I hope you are enjoying this very Holy weekend. My hubby and I pray nightly for you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Jesus is our hope and I pray many will know Him and have peace. Much love ❤ from Alabama.
Nice to see a full vampire crab enclosure that satisfies their needs. I've been enjoying the channel Indoor Ecosystem for his care guides on various geosarma species and this is really next level
A LIVE STREAM CAM ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT.
Your craftmanship is reaching the level of master 👀
All the designs are beautiful, but the structure of this one has an unusually strong sense of motion, even before any plants or water were added. Really gorgeous. (And the crabs are too adorable!)
I've been watching your videos for years now and with this build you've finally convinced me- you are not human, you are a mythical grass type pokemon with godlike creative powers. I will never not be amazed by your content, thank you for what you do.
Wow, that was incredible! Your editing skills are top-notch, and I appreciate the attention to detail in your punctuation. The way you've infused creativity into these tank designs is truly calming, serene, and motivating. As someone who's been following your journey since the beginning, it's fantastic to see you bring this project to fruition. Keep up the great work, and please consider creating more CZcams content for recommended builds-your subscribers would love it!
I absolutely love the fact that you create THE PERFECT environment for the creatures you keep and let them thrive in natural enclosure rather than just a cop out with a bare tank!Love this channel!❤
Thank you for including the common name of your plants with the Latin one! I used to have to search for the Latin name constantly to figure out which types of plants you were using so I appreciate the extra detail! Also, love the scape.
Ya,it’s soo helpful like who is gonna remember the Latin names 👍
@@fernedowns6652 Latin name is helpful for identifying the plant with precision instead of having to hope the common name isn't shared with a bunch of other similar plants, plus the Latin name is international and helps those whose main language isn't English
Absolutely amazing man. I dont understand how you can just… make something like this. Mind blown
You start with talent, and then apply dedication to improve your skill through years of practice.
It's a rare combination, for someone to be equally gifted and disciplined.
You sound like you smile while you talk and I love it
your videos provide me an oasis of comfort and joy in a desert of anxiety. Thank you for all that you do, you are truly and inspiration!
At one point I created a waterfall in a 60 gallon “antique” Metaframe “show” tank. The aquarium was fairly shallow but extremely tall, it was a custom order tank back in the day with an aluminum frame and slate bottom. The scape and mechanics were similar with a “pond/pool” area at the bottom. My choice of plants & mosses was also similar with the addition of tiny ferns and miniature/micro-mini free-flowering Sinningia. After a few months I stocked it with Strawberry and Green & Black Dart Frogs and a solid white male Betta in the “pond”area. It was so relaxing just to sit and watch!
Incredible. Your brain is amazing, your patience astounding, your artistry unmatched. Bonkers mate, you blow my mind every time. As always, big love from Scotland.
This could be my favourite one yet.
This is probably my favorite build of yours so far!
Wow absolutely beautiful! The entire build is just jaw dropping! Another amazing build done!!!
This - is - INSANE.
You were good to take more time to finish this instead of rushing anything. I mean, you never rush anything and that's wonderful :)
Holy sh**, this one's so much of work but so worth the effort and time... I really love to see those crabs climbing up those walls! Just amazing.
Serpa the G.O.A.T is back!
Amazing vivarium build
I'm completely blown away by your channel- your builds are absolutely breathtaking. I've been planning to build a bioactive for my ball python for a couple years now and clicked on a recommended vid of yours on a whim to get some inspo. Now I want to fill my space to the brim with nature art like this. I've also wished for a long time to make a little replica of a native pond for my area, and assumed it was beyond my abilities, but you really make it seem like it would be possible. Wonderful job my dude!
Wooow, gorgeous enclosure (as always), and you gotta love the little crabs~
Watching you work it is so clear you are a master craftsman.
simply next level terrarium/enclosure building and landscape shaping/designing.. nothing else to add here Tanner *massive thumbs up for the hard work*
I absolutely love the design, especially of the vivarium itself. That glass looks expensive though!
Been watching you for years. This is my favorite so far. It feels like a culmination of all of your knowledge in one beautiful piece of art.
I would love a back to basics building playlist 🥹 every terrarium I’ve made has been inspired by your channel
Excellent end result. As always you crush it with the details
Would love to have a 3-hour video of this with just natural sounds, especially water.
Maybe a slowly panning camera.
A ton of people would love it because most people just want to enjoy your work without all the hassle.
Another banger. Always loved crabs and these little guys look amazing in their new enclosure! Absolutely incredible work.
Stunning. Just STUNNING! Job well done. Lucky animals!
your eye for detail is superb! what a gorgeous tank :)
Look forward to seeing some updates. I have had my vampire crabs since November. I don't see them often. But they have started to have baby's! It's something very different, when people come over and look at my pets they are easily the once people are most interested in. They always seem shocked that people have crabs as pets.
Love what you do and the passion you share. I’m hoping this becomes a trend, I would love to see a blooper reel at the end of the video😉😇
That crab house is beautiful .
Spectacular design
Just made my first ever paludarium and I’m super happy with it, once it’s cycled in about a month I’ll pick up 4 red devil vampire crabs and words cannot explain how excited I am!
W, same, mine is halfway done after 2 days, just gonna add more plants and land for hiding places, and then let run for a while before adding crabs, hope yours goes well
I really need a vampire crab in my life. Great tank and crabs man
Absolute breathtaking work, well done
It's so beautiful, those are some very lucky crabs
Stunning work. So relaxing to watch.
You are an extremely gifted artist!
Hands down amazingly beautiful
Love it. You’ve taught me so much on enclosure builds, thank you. I’m about to make a bioactive enclosure for a crested gecko today and I’ll be sure to utilize everything I’ve learned!
Another home run. Well done, you're an inspiration!
What an amazing scape. Just beautiful! 😊
This is an incredible build! Would absolutely love to see an update in a few months! :)
This setup is insane dude. Awesome job!
I remember asking for one of these a while ago, I’m glad to see you’ve gotten vampire crabs
Please keep us updated on this one!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Amazing work as usual!
Perfect habitat for them!
Your grand projects inspire my simple dreams! 🤩🤌
I want a 'fish tank' with no fish, just invertebrates! And a waterfall is essential. 😌🌿
I can't wait to see how this grows in! It's so exciting!
You uploaded this 1 day after I made my crab paludarium, now im ashamed of my work haha. Nice video as always!
I found a place near me that sells these! I just finished their habitat and it's been cycling for a week, can't wait to add them!
Well done. Watching them move it o the “jungle” was amazing! I was thinking while I was watching this, a “prepping hard scape “ video would be fun, and maybe easy? Idk.
Beautiful! The environment is good to look at & rich in features for the crabs' benefit. And they seem to be enjoying it. I'd say it's a winner! Although the ease (or otherwise) of maintenance remains to be seen... Anyway, congratulations on another impressive project.
- Wow that came out amazing 👏🏽 😍 🦀
Great vid man thanks for doing this! I look forward to this every week! Also please do a creek bed crayfish aquarium.
It's beautiful! And what a great way to have that door 😃
You really nailed it with this one!!!
Crazy complex build loved it.
I've been keeping vampire crabs for a little over a year now and I've always wondered what kind of setup you would make for them, loved finally getting an answer!
Yesss. Finally. I was waiting for this really long . Crab tank. My dreams are solved. 🎉😁🦀
I love this set up. I will definitely keep this In mind for the future. Awesome
It's hard to say this because you made some absolute marvelous projects throughout the years, but this is definitely one of your best! The beauty, the complexity, the execution. Perfect
This is so incredibly beautiful! I think if I had this at home, I'd never leave the house and just sit there and stare at it all day. You can be so proud of yourself!
Crabs are having the best life.
Absolutely incredible! Thanks for sharing!
This is absolutely stunning!!
I'm one of the ones that requested this. This is way more than I expected. Incredible work. Now I must request a bioactive screen enclosure. I can't figure out a way to do substrate and make it look natural. Would love to see how you'd approach it.
Thank you for sharing this, and for the many hours of viewing your amazing creations.
Most people just buy a giant plastic storage tub. SerpaDesign takes it to the highest possible levels ❤
This is by far my favorite set up so far ! I absolutely love the new way you shaped this build ! With use of glass and making multiple waterfalls! Amazing job! I've followed your talent and videos for a long long time, and it's awesome to continually see growth and change in your builds ! 💚
Absolutely Stunning! Bravo!!
This is such an incredible build! I love these vertical paludariums because they create so many different layers and details to look at.
Watched it❤❤❤❤ I love how much thought goes into the animals lifes 😊 those crabs and other life forms will feel safe and have enough places to search for food....great to see there are plenty of hiding spaces... Great build ❤ I would feel content having this in my house😊
There no words for the pure genius you put into each build you do every time I am more and more captivated by their beauty. You can honestly make millions if u made an actual business doing builds for people bc everyone will come to you to build everything. 😊
Absolutely amazing setup
That is absolutely crazy. What an amazing amazing construction
River paludarium for trout would be awesome
The setup looks amazing! I think it is just right the way it is :)
That's beautiful! I really want something like this, with all the animals, but I would also like to include tiny shrimp!
A beautiful build. The wood placement was great but even better was the care taken to ensure that the whole setup was suitable and a great living space for the crabs. Well done on a fantastic build.
The look is fully in harmony. Wonderful!
It truly amazes me how creative and talented some people are in this world. Blows my mind
That Sir is freaking amazing!!!
This man is a good example of: Trust the process
That is truly beautiful! My husband was so happy to see you do this one.
This was such a great video! Always excited for crab set ups 🦀✨❤️
❤
A couple of antiqued brass strips could cover that lower silicon and fit nicely with the look, ornate, but low key
