Description

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

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.

These guys are tiny! Ordered 10

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.

I want more of them now!

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.

A great addition to my tank ( ! )

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

All 5 arrived healthy

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

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.

My shrimp arrived all dead

My shrimp arrived all dead, I emailed and the person tried to tell me they were just shy. I can see that they were limp and not moving. They were supposed to be shipped with a heat pack, but when they arrived, the heat pack was no longer producing heat so the shrimp likely died died because they got too cold because it’s 40° outside.

Hi Shane, thank you for your review. Yes! Thai micro crabs are really shy crabs! Often after shipping, they will hold on to the net and not move untill they are accliamted into your tank where they can find hiding spots! Unfortunately, we were unable to add a heat pack in your order as it was a little too warm in your area and the transit area. In this case, the heat pack may do more harm than good for these little guys. Thank you for reaching out to us via email as well. I have replied your last email notifying us that there were doa after acclimation. Please send us a photo of the crab as per our live arrival policy. I will be happy to assist you!
