differant

Post by lilhermitgirl17 »

Is it ok to put different species in togeather? And if I got a hermi that was bigger than the two that I have, would it be ok with them? I have a pretty good sized tank, and if I got this one, I would only have 3 hermies then. Advice would be awsome! Thanks.

i think they would be totally fine together even if they are of different species cuz lots of people around here have one huge tank with 2-3 different species in them

Yes, it is perfectly okay, as long as you have at least two crabs of each species you have.

Ok, but the size differance wouldn't matter? Like if I got one that was more medium or jumbo it wouldn't bother my smaller ones? they aren't like tiny, but they are small...

Different sizes are ok. The bigger ones will just step over the smaller ones, but that doesn't hurt them ;).
