IF they are the same as the other tropical crabs, its tropical freshwater, neutral-ish pH. Feed on crab pellets, meaty bits, prawns etc. They need some land to escape onto as well. Dont do well with fish, they would do better in a tank by them selves. Very fun to keep they are! I've had one species (of which the name alludes me right this second).

EDIT: look at this, its quite good:

there are short care sheets on our site Wilder Reptiles & Exotics these crabs need a lot more land than most fresh water crabs, as they are mainly land dwellers. I recmmend 1 third water, 2 thirds land, but other than that care is spot on Really easy to look after

Hi, yes they can, however if you wanted to do that i'd go for all females. They are not a particularly territorial crab but as the two species are fairly closely related I'm not sure if there are risks of breeding if the two were kept together.

just pm me when you're ready, although if you definately want some (even if you cant afford them until next week), i'd recommend pming me anyone to reserve some as they are selling fast! we only currently have one of the vampires left! and probably wont be getting a new shippment for atleast 2 weeks.
