SC Fish Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 So i have a 5 gallon and i am planning to put 2 vampire crabs in. I have searched before and people seemed to agree it was a good amount for a 5 gallon but now a lot of sites say I need a 10 for 6. But nothing about 5s and if its even ok. the tank i planning is going to be built up with rocks, sticks and tons of plants. They will have tons to climb and even a nice area to walk freely in front of the water tank size is 25cm wide by 40cm long thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurrian Hering Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Personally I’ve never kept them so I can’t say for sure but I would think for only two that could probably work fine. I’d probably get a ten and put more in it because more is always better imo haha. But I would think two in a five should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_G Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 @eatyourpeas has some in a nano tank if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatyourpeas Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 As @Patrick_G mentioned, I do have a six gallon tank for my Vampire crabs. The link in my signature will take you to the journal. I fill the tank half way so they only have 3 gallons of water. I started with 1M and 2F and now they have had babies. They are fun, but get a bright color so you can see them, as they are very good at staying camouflaged. 😎 Happy to answer any questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
