About this item

  • IMPORTANT: Thai Micro Crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetri) are EXTREMELY SMALL (½ inch diameter) and for experienced nano aquarists only. They are perfect for 2 gallon or larger nano or mini aquariums!
  • They do best in tanks with plants, décor, or some sort of container, platform, ramp, or shelf that provides cover, as well as substrate or floor bed (such as rocks, mulch, bark, or coconut fiber).
  • These fully aquatic crabs are not prone to climbing to the aquarium wall or out of top of the tank like Panther Crabs, and usually prefer to stay deep under water without approaching the surface.
  • Basic aquarium supplies and media required, like a filter system and auto pump (i.e. the reactor, fusion, or voyager variety), thermometer or temperature gauge, LED lights or daylight lamps, etc.
  • All Aquatic Arts (formerly InvertObsession) brand plants and animals come with a 100% live arrival guarantee, plus free email support!
  • Also known as "false spider crabs" Thai Micro Crabs are tiny, fully aquatic crabs that so far have only been found in one river in Thailand. They are a new and rare addition to the aquarium hobby, making them difficult to find in any pet store or even online. This is one of the very few types of crab that can live fully immersed in water at all times, so they can be kept in any freshwater aquarium. Due to their small size, these aquatic pets pose little or no threat to most fish or other aquarium inhabitants; however, aggressive fish or animals may come after them. They tend to do great in tanks with dwarf shrimp, such as Neon Yellow Shrimp, Babaulti Shrimp, and Tiger Shrimp, as well as small fish, like the Danio, Rasbora, Neon Tetra, Guppy, Endler, IMPORTANT: Thai Micro Crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetri) are EXTREMELY SMALL (½ inch diameter) and for experienced nano aquarists only.

Not Dead

When they arrived they wouldn’t move so I thought they were all dead. It was because of the cold. I put them in the tank anyway and 6/13 were actually alive so I’ve updated my review. Read more

Great shipping!! Very fast and great price!

Absolutely amazing!!! So glad I ordered and will be back here if looking for more. These little guys are so difficult to find at pet stores locally and if you do find them, it cost an arm and a leg to get one. Truly thankful for finding them here on Amazon at a great price!! they will be living in a pladarium I have had going since 2020. Hopefully I can somehow trigger breeding and rearing them regardless of how difficult or impossible is to breed the species with success. Read more

Very cool species

Very cool species. Deserves every star just being what it is. I ordered 10 and got 7. 2 were doa. I do have 5 that seem healthy on delivery day. They give good instructions and package safely. The two that passed were not company fault I feel. Died in shipping. The 3 I'm missing is why the 3 stars. If rest survive I feel it's worth it to me! Read more
