My LFS was sold this batch of crabs as FW, and well, i thought that they were Amarinus lacustris (the only FW one in the family) but it turns out that A. lacustris only gets to about 8-10mm across the shell, and the male i have sitting in a breeder box in my trpoical tank is WELL over that, about 20-25mm across the shell. i'm trying to get a piccie, but the poor little man is unhappy with his current situation and is pouting. he has red fluid sacs in the centre of his nipper, both nippers are equal in size. no outstanding markings on his shell that i can see. DEFINATELY walks like a spider. |

Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001 ![]() ![]() ![]() | well, i've been calling him StrongMad (see the last picture, the box-like appearance) but i dont know.... I'm thinking maybe Clinger or something to that effect. he does this weird thing where he perches on the top of the flowerpot and lifts all of his legs up in turn, and waggles his claws around, all stretched out so the membrane is all wide and red. Its hilarious! he tries to hold on with only 2 of those tiny leglets! yesterday, in the middle of this display, he toppled off the pot! |
