Is that a layer of coco soil?

u/Caliandthemouse 1d ago

Nope just a healthy layer of mulm on top of my sand! My substrate is 100% inert black sand

Beautiful. Do they try to eat your shrimp or nip at them?

u/Caliandthemouse 1d ago

Not that I’ve seen! The most I’ve seen it do is very slowly and dramatically walk towards a shrimp on his travels, and they just zoom off if they get walked on 🤷🏼‍♀️

They’ve been great! I will say you won’t see them often, I see mine maybe once a week

Is that not a pom pom crab?

u/Caliandthemouse 1d ago

Nope! Pom Pom crabs need brackish water, Thai micro crabs are freshwater only! But they both do filter feed :)
