Hello there everyone. This morning i was looking at my tank and i noticed that one of my Emeral crabs had eggs on the underside of it belly. What sould i do ? I dont have a place to isolate her? Has anyone had a crab with eggs on it before? Need help quickly?

Thank you, Danny

get *one of those acrylic boxes that fish stores use to put fish in, that hang on the side of the tank and drill some holes in it for water flow and hang it on the inside of your tank. *This will substitute as a quarentine. *Can also use one of those live bearer boxes as well.

It is possible the eggs are not fertile. You of course would need a male and female. But it sounds like you have more than one Mathrix crab. That's pretty cool. Any change on a Pic.

Well i think they are fertile because that same day i saw the two crabs united ( u know what i mean). So lets see if they will hatch. I will try to get some pics. to post.
