About
Limnopilos naiyanetri, the Thai Micro Crab or False Spider Crab, is one of the few fully aquatic freshwater crabs. Only 1 cm across, they filter-feed on microscopic organisms and biofilm in the water column. Completely harmless to plants, fish, and shrimp. A fascinating addition to nano planted tanks. Pack of 3.
Care Guide
Keep in a heavily planted nano tank with lots of plant surface area for climbing. At least 15 L. Feed micro foods: powdered food, baby brine shrimp, liquid fry food. Safe with all small fish and shrimp. Provide excellent water quality — sensitive to ammonia and nitrite spikes. Breed in fresh water.
