Default Micro Crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetri)
Hey,
has anyone kept micro crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetri) in their fish tanks? I just came across them by chance and had never heard of them before. The are appearently "next big thing" lol. But I'd love to see some pics if anyone's got some!?

they're pretty expensive. there was a guy on sfbaaps selling these for 18$ each but i dont think he has anymore.. sfbaaps members are very nice and generous, you probably wont find anywhere that sell the same things for a cheaper price.

Yeah i saw where he was selling those for $18 each. I saw a few more recent posts on other boards of people paying somewhere closer to $8 each and a few that paid 20 euros for 6 of the crabs. I think you would just have to get lucky to find some in the first place, then worry about the price. It seems that a lot of people are thinking that it wont be too long until they are easily attainable, and i would have to agree with that.

They are now showing up on importer lists, $8 is about right if I remember right.

That is wholesale then, right? Doubt we'll see them for that price.

No, that is retail from dealers who import.

I'm picking up 5 for $35 in a week and a half.

I've read on some website that people have been breeding them in captivity but not sure about details.
