Aquatic Arts 2 Live Freshwater Pom Pom Crabs | Real Living Nano Aquarium Fish Tank Pet | Betta/Danio/Rasbora/Guppy Compatible

These adorable little guys made the shipping happy. They are active and appear healthy. I ended up with three instead of the two I ordered. I’m absolutely in love with them. They are the perfect addition to my planted tank.

All 4 crabs came alive and healthy shipping was quick and they were packaged with so much care they did an excellent job highly recommend them i bought 4 crabs and all 4 survived. They are actually so lively they are going around cleaning the tank and barring themselves in the gravel

I gave the seller two tries with the pom pom crabs and both times they were DOA or died shortly afterwards. Both times I contacted the seller to try to get a resolution, and my message was not answered… Poor customer service and no accountability taken in either case, unfortunately .

I would love to give this 5 stars but unfortunately both of my crabs were dead on arrival. They looked so cute too. :( edit: they do make an easy online claim page for this. Will edit my review if I get my replacement crabs. However it does say you have to pay for shipping again, not the crabs if they do send you a replacement instead of a refund. However it really isn't their fault, as that was expertly packaged so this was just bad luck. So in the end fair.

One arrived dead, the others were perfect! They gave a refund for the one that passed and it did not appear to be the fault of the seller. They have them shipped in double bags wrapped in paper, a little temperature pack, and a foam lined box. Quick response time and the Pom Pom crabs are adorable.

I recently ordered three of these guys after doing research and learning that Red Claw crabs (who need brackish water) would not have been a good option for my freshwater only tank. When the Pom Poms arrived, unfortunately, one was stuck up in a corner of the bag without water for an unknown amount of time, and I believe that’s the crab we ultimately lost… (picture) Otherwise the crabs, on the rare occasions we see them, are hilarious and I’m satisfied with the purchase. We were worried about them arriving during cold weather, but they had a little heater in the box and very easily to follow instructions for acclimating. Will probably get a few more soon. Update: A second crab has died and I’m afraid we may be close to the third passing as well… I’m updating this comment because the last two and now the third have all shared similar behavior. Each crab, the day before dying (and what the remaining crab is doing now) became very active in the tank, circling the perimeter, climbing, etc. The two that died already both did this, then went to the same exact spot in the tank and died. The third crab appeared yesterday, has become suddenly active like the other two, and now is sitting in the same location the other two died. I’m not sure what this behavior could mean, but I hope it helps others. Our local water (Missouri) is very hard/ high in calcium, so that may be the issue. All the fish, snails, and shrimp were bought locally so they would be used to the water (and we’ve not had problems with them); so maybe that’s why?

I love love love my little crab. I got 2, I have only seen one so far since release. I hope I see the other one soon :( but the one I do see, I love him to bits. Update. Both are alive. They’re murderous little clowns. They murdered all my shrimp, but they’re still so funny and adorable, I still love them -_- goodbye expensive shrimp lunch. Cute devils. My fancy betta is the only one who showed the bigger, darker, crab who is boss and they just respect one one another’s space now. The smaller crab, I’m going to call female, because she’s nicer, cuter, and I’m female, doesn’t mess with any one else.

These little guys are so cute, But they did not adapt well. All arrived in seemingly good health but One month later, 3 out of 5 are dead. They're in an established 75 gallon tank with a few other small fish and a small 20 shrimp colony, everybody else is breeding and doing great. The five crabs immediately ran for cover and hid for the first week. One has died almost every week since then. The two that are left will take food and run around the tank with it, But my feeling is that the first three probably starved to death because they wouldn't eat the pellets, the small pieces of frozen meat, or the flakes that had fallen to the bottom. The tank also has plenty of live plants... I hope other people are having better luck but watching these guys try to crawl out of the tank all the time is just depressing 😕
