🦀 Crab story update
3 years ago
General
That’s a continuation of this story.
We’ve bought all necessary for Edward:
- a tank with lamp
- expanded clay
- coconut substrate
- fine sand
- two cool rocks
- a snag
- big decorative shelter
- few live plants
- sphagnum
- inner filter
- special chemicals for water
- the crab 🦀
It all costs me about $120 btw >.>
[special thanks to naughtykyuubi69 for the donation! ❤️🦀]
So then me and Neolinki created a fine “crabitat” for Ed! But Ed was… dead.
Yeah we’ve bought a dead crab. We thought he wasn’t moving cause of stress or something, we left him for a night in his new home with all necessary conditions, but he wasn’t moving at all.. In the store it seemed to us that he was changing his position under the stone, but we were wrong 😔 RIP Edward. I should have saved you earlier.. 😭
BUT! The story has a good ending! Front some side… As we have a finished tank we needed crabs. We found a lonely male vampire crab in other shop. We named this smol red boi Stefan. He was stressed, so we decided to find him a few friends. That’s how two females Katherine and Elena appeared in our aquarium.
So now we have three happy little crabs! They’re so fun to observe 🥹
P.S. I’m still sad about Edward 😔

May he scuttle in the soft beaches above
But it’s good that there’s a happy ending even after everything! It’s great to hear that Stefan and his new roomies are settling in nicely and are happy together in their new ‘crabitat’, and that it’ll still get some good use after all! Hope you two enjoy and take good care of your precious little crab buddies! And hopefully Ed is happy and in a better place now as well, may he rest in peace… 🦀🦀💜💜
# Would love to see pictures of Stefan and his friends sometime if you ever get the chance to post any!
Stefan is a little shy guy, Katherine is the most brave (she was the first to explore their new home haha) and Elena is the biggest one, but calm. She occupied the cave 😅 Yeah these little creatures even have their own character! I was surprised and pleased c:
I’ll definitely share their photos soon! 🥰
At least he is partly responsable of Stefan and his new friends finding a new and better home. It's nice that his story has at least a bittersweet ending. :-D
A real shame but at least it has a happy if bittersweet ending.
You did what you could and with the petshop not caring about him at all, letting him die, it was probably already too late when you saw him the first time.
I hate seeing animals being treated like that in pet stores. Reason I only go there when I need something fast and can't wait some days to order it online from specialized terraristic shops that are also breeder and on the white list that made their hobby to their job.
My heart breaks everytime I see animals being kept like that, like Edward.
I am glad there are others out there, trying to save them like you do. I sincerely thank you! And I am happy that the other crabbies are now having a good life in your care. 🖤
Thank you very much for your kind words 💜
And in fact, this is a story about how lucky three wonderful crabs were to find a home and a carefree life thanks to the fact that two very kind people met a dead crab.
Happy story! Especially since I haven't looked at the FA for a long time, I read your last two magazines almost simultaneously))) and I immediately recognized the happy ending of the story.
Thanks for your message! I like how you interpreted the story and this interpretation makes me feel better 💜
sounds like the crab version of The Dead Parrot Sketch.
And Edward. I get it.
At least your heart was in the right place...? Bless you. (As if I'm qualified to bless anyone)
