Is she sleeping or molting or dying? Her face looks very old and kind of looks like her shell might come off, but she wont move. She is underwater right now. what should i do? is this normal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35784234.post-54206586720697289162010-08-11T14:02:59.130+05:302010-08-11T14:02:59.130+05:30Two of my fiddler crabs are upside down in my tank. My mom and I think that they fought with each other... later on, one of the &quot;dead&quot; crabs had white liquid streaming out of the back shell. But weirdly, the crabs kept on moving a little bit; they either moved their claws or legs, or their eyes and mouth moved....but my family decided to trash them.

Sorry.<br />So I had two fiddler crabs in one tank and for about 2 months they were doing fine, until today. I looked into the tank and I saw a horrid sight. My female crab seemed to be ripped to shreds. The top half was detached from its legs...<br />My male crab seemed to be standing normally, but when looked at closer, I could see that his underside was peeled back, like it was hinged open. It was lifeless. I fished them both out of the tank. I&#39;m extremely confused as to what happened because they both seemed to be doing fine in their environment up until today. They seemed to just explode. It was like a massacre.<br />Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />If you could email me at nick17260@hotmail.com<br />thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35784234.post-32358543165737941742009-07-12T20:57:02.909+05:302009-07-12T20:57:02.909+05:30my mom bought me a crab the other day and I got on the computer last night to get information about them. And when I opened his tank to get some fresh air he&#39;s big claw was missing and so was a little point of one? It was so sad. He was tipped over and I thought he was still alive because he was moving but I guess it was just nerves. email me at riddleghost@yahoo.com pleaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35784234.post-27237189673845188202009-06-09T17:16:47.129+05:302009-06-09T17:16:47.129+05:30yes the same thing happed to my daughters crab he was doing fine now he is in the tank not moving at all :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
