AlanM February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 Pretty much any time if there's no ammonia and reasonable levels of nitrate and phosphate. I'd also wait until there is enough feeding going on that they will have some scraps to pick through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 As long as tank is fully cycled and there is something for the crabs to eat, you could put them in now. Since crabs pick all day long, there needs to be enough in the tank for them to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 don't worry, they'll just eat snails and other inverts when they run out of food.... only use tiny (1/2") blue-legs- they take forever to get big and they rarely take down a snail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
