• Invasion of crabs

  • Erica

Good evening everyone! My aquarium is 8 days old, and yesterday I added 5 kg of stones, after which I discovered at least five fuzzy, brown otters. Upon identifying them, it turned out they are quite the troublemakers. It was decided to catch them. I set traps with shrimp meat right under their burrows, but by morning, no one was there. Then, I removed a stone and poured fresh water from a syringe into those burrows. As a result, I extracted 6 otters, each less than 1 cm. I thought that was it. Turns out, it wasn't. So, dear forum members, please suggest any other ways to catch these otters. They probably already tire of me, and I feel bad for the stone, constantly moving it back and forth, not to mention pouring fresh water! The crabs are currently living in a container, there's no sump, so if anyone wants to take them, I'd hate to throw them away.

Wet them at every opportunity...

Do not throw away the crabs. I can take them, phone 333-71-75.

Okay, I won't throw them away. Call me, we'll arrange how you can pick them up. And still, how to uproot the others?

What makes them so harmful that they need to be "taken out" immediately?

One of them devoured a Strombus in front of my eyes... after that, I hated them all.

and one of them leaked to me, I also have no snails left to whom, a hermit, with two actiniae on the body (large ones)

I have a snail in my tank that really "loves" strombus. After such "love," only the shell is left of the strombus. I can give it away. I can't bring myself to throw it out.
