I was at the LFS yesterday and I found some Red Claw Crabs. The sales person did not know much about them other than they need to be able to reach the top of water for air. I was kind of bummed be cause I wanted to add them to my aquarium. So my question is what are there needs? So I can determine if I can meet those needs. I like them but I will not get them if I can’t provide a happy home for them. Thanks in advance
