This listing is for a freshwater pom pom crab (Ptychognathus Barbatus). These are awesome peaceful crabs and will be a great addition to your tank. They might go after small dwarf shrimp and snails but we keep them with larger adult dwarf shrimps with no issues. These crabs are fully aquatic, but we recommend having a lid on your tank to prevent them from escaping.
Freshwater Pom Pom 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.
Tank Water Parameters:
Temperature: 68° - 76° F
pH: 6.2 - 7.2
KH: 1 - 5 dKH
GH: 5-8

Very high quality, the crabs were all alive and I will reorder.
I ordered a Pom Pom crab from another company twice- the first time UPS lost it and it was never delivered. The second time it was DOA. I ordered this one from SB and it was delayed by UPS for 2 days and still arrived alive. SB’s packaging was so much better! I am a customer for life! They are definitely pros!
I knew I'd enjoy these crabs, but they came in smaller than I expected. They are not leaving me small on adventure or excitement. They are on the move and making me laugh. Glad I got them, and so are my dogs, who also love watching them.
All came alive, had 1 or 2 die in first 24hrs the other three survived
Hi Cameran, Thank you so much for your reviews!! Sorry to hear about the crab. I have reached out to you via email to process the claim. Have a wonderful week and happy Thanksgiving!
The crabs arrived in a nicely protected package. All three were in good shape on arrival and have thrived in the tank. They are surprisingly active throughout the day. Love Shrimpy Business!
