I believe he's going to end up dying.He's now bubbling at the mouth and brown gunk came out.:( I killed my own crab.:( Maybe I should give my others away.

Tanks of proper size are over $200 :| How much did you guys pay for your tanks?

Not sure what size tank you are meaning for $200. But they do sell 10 gal glass tanks at walmart for about $13. One can also watch freecycle in their area for tanks that somebody is giving away. Or one can look on Craigs list in their area for cheap tanks, or go to a pet store and ask if they have any leak'ers.
