How big should a ISO tank be?

I only have a "critter carrier", it's a medium size. I use it to transport them but could I also use it as an ISO tank?

Yes you can use that for an ISO. If the hermie is already buried in your regular tank DO NOT dig it up and transfer it. Be sure you have fresh and salt water and food and a place to hide in ISO.

i have a long plastic carrying cage that i use when i have to take more than 3 anywhere and i have 2 small plastic cages that i use for ISO. i put a shell of food (usually fruit with calcium powder), a big shell with salt and another with fresh water before putting in the sick crab.
