Okay, thanks. I'll do that. I actually had another small one in there before (the match to my salt water one; they are a glass candy dish,lol) and figured they didn't need 2 fresh water dishes, but yeah, the big one doesn't get as dirty as the small one and the small one is so shallow, I don't have to sink it. Thanks again. #D

I leave my water dish on the surface, the crabs have no problem getting in, and even if they do, it's good exercise. I also prefer this method because it leaves more diggable area for burrowing (when my crabs moult, they usually do it right under one of the water dishes).
