Ghost Dwarf Crab

Ghost Dwarf Crabs (Potamocypoda pugil) is relatively new freshwater crab to the hobby. They get their name from their small size and translucent shell. We keep them with larger adult dwarf shrimps with no issues. These crabs are a fully aquatic species but they will venture out to land, so a lid is definitely needed to prevent them from escaping. 

Ghost Dwarf Crabs are very active and intuitive compared to most small crabs and will take to many varieties of food. We feed them a variety of high-quality sinking pellets. These are small crabs and the purchase size will range roughly from 1/2 inch to 1 inch.
