The Panther Crab is a stunning addition to my 30-gallon tank. It moves gracefully and adds a lot of visual interest. I’ve kept it for over six months and it’s still active and healthy. The water parameters are stable, and it seems to enjoy the plants and rocks in the tank.

First time keeping a crab in a freshwater setup. The Panther Crab is bold and curious. It spends most of its time near the back of the tank, exploring the substrate. I’ve noticed it doesn’t eat much, but it’s very active and seems content.
