About This Species
This listing is for Thai Micro Crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetr). These are awesome peaceful crabs and will be a great addition to your tank. They are one of the few freshwater crabs that can live fully immersed, which makes them perfect for most freshwater aquariums. These crabs are extremely small (hence, their name) and do not grow larger than 1/2". Thai Micro Crabs are slow moving crabs and will take to many varieties of food. We feed them a variety of high-quality sinking pellets. Due to their size and timid demeanor, they pose little to no threat to dwarf shrimp. Again, these are extremely small crabs and the purchase size will range roughly from 1/4" to 1/2".
Tank Water Parameters:
Temperature: 68° - 76° F

All crabs arrived safe!
They arrived safely. I'm drip accumulate them now. So cute
I ordered 10 and when I looked they all seemed to be good and healthy, they came in a variety of sizes and as for colors (mainly white or brown). 2 of them did not survive however didn't know until I took them out of the bag as they were stuck to the netting that they came with. The others are loving their new environment so far. It seems they also gave me a little snail friend to go along with these crabs. The shipping would've taken a bit longer but I was able to receive them earlier than the delivery date whicb was good as it lessened the death toll. Overall I would say I'm quite happy with my order and definitely would order from here again.
Cute and tiny little crabs all arrived alive and healthy acclimated them to the tank and they stay hidden most of the time i know for sure 3 have survived but since they love to hide and are tough to see in a planted aquarium i cant tell for sure
Cute little guys! I used to see them more frequently when I first got them, but now that they know the lay of the land, I don't see them as often and they pop out every once in a while to say hello! Lol.
Love these lil guys! All arrived healthy and happy. Really add to my perfect little alien world!
The Thai Micro crabs are so cute! They have gone to live their best life teaching a 4th Grade classroom all about the plant lifecycle with some neocaridina shrimp tank mates.
Once you put them in the tank. You will never see them again.
Recommend getting 10 or more if you have a large tank. They are so TINY. Im in awe and wish I got more.
These little crabs 🦀 have to be the smallest in the world.
Once I put them in they just disappeared into the vegetation.
Awesome!
I think they are so cute, but really tiny. I almost thought the bag they came in was empty. I enjoy watching them in the tank, very social, they didn’t mind the snails , one actually was hitching a ride.
Shipped with large order in their own water. All survived the high heat on the west coast. Cute little things. After 1 week all are alive and doing well.
When you say micro you aren't joking!! Thay are cool but once they got into my tank they disappeared.. way to small for me to keep track of except one who stayed on the plant branches I put them on when introducing them to my tank
Haven't seen them yet They will come out when they are ready
Alive on arrival.
All crabs arrived alive and in healthy condition. Crabs left look good in planted shrimp tank! Wife and I play hide and seek-in-seek to find them. Very tiny!
These guys are tiny!
Ordered 10, sadly, one didn’t make it to its new home.
They’re slow moving, not the fastidious activity of my now well established shrimp population, however, definitely a great addition to my 36 gallon tank.
All arrived safe and sound, and did very well with acclimation. They're adorable. I have one brave one that wanders about during the day, and let's the Sakura Reds know *he's* boss.
These little guys were so tiny and cute! All 5 arrived alive and well.
They don't come out very much but that's common for these little guys so when you do get a chance to see them they are fascinating to watch
Thriving!
Everything is Great. Shipment was good Everything was alive and well.
Micro crabs. Loved them when I first got them, have seen them only once since. I know they are alive I just can't find them in the tank.
Ill keep looking
Very nice
Cute… saw them one time… and haven’t seen them since… Im guessing they’re hiding
All 5 arrived healthy. I really thought some were dead on arrival because they had their legs out at weird angles and seemed limp, but I watched them carefully through the drip acclimation time and each ended up moving. So be careful before assuming they are dead! Now I occasionally spot them scuttling around my nano tank, seeming to be doing well.
Beautiful and interesting, these slow-moving & very, very small crabs were either filtered or bait even in the docile shrimp-safe setup we had. We'll try again in a bubblier setup but the fist 10 were an expensive and sad lesson.
