Paludarium 54L - Journal

Sesarma bidens/Pseudosesarma moeshi (Red Clawed Mangrove Crab) was the main reason for commencing this project. Like many other crabs even this one needs access to land. I would like to keep a few of these crabs responsibly, meaning successfully. Happy crab-keeping! :-)

The first Pseudosesarma moeshi shots




And here are the first photos of my Pseudosesarma moeshi aka Sesarma bidens. They are adapting very well. They show great appetite, eating the Anubias 'Petit'
and the Java Moss as well as the soft parts of the bog wood. I can see them inhibiting both parts, the land and under the water (next photo shows this crab resting over the water line).The Macrobrachium spp. shrimp is still alive. I am sure Crabs will not harm this shrimp.
