Crabs

[scfong8]

Hi everyone,

are crabs able to prey on live fishes and if so, how can we get rid of them. there's a big crab hiding in my LR and many of my healthy fishes disappeared overnight. so would really appreciate any suggestion to get rid of it (other than taking out all my LR).

Thanks

Killer crabs! Hope your fishes that disappeared are small not big ones... Instead of taking out your Lrs, if you can see where your crabs hide you could take a sharp stick and poke it through your crab....

you could also use a small bottle with bait in it to lure the crab in and pull it out provided you are a very very patient person

one of the best way is still by using a empty container, putting some bait like prawn etc in it and as stated by vtech2, it would be more helpful to know where the hiding place of your crab is and then lay the trap as near to it as possible.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I will give it a try.
