Still wish we had bigger ones availabe!! I emailed you bylo, but are they hardy? Is tap water fine? Aaaand, do you know roughly how old they live? Do they nip hard?

Water straight from the tap would almost definately kill them straight away, but it would be fine if you leave it for a few days.

Can I use water straight from the tap with the water-safe stuff you put in fish tanks?

Yes you can. Treat them the same way you'd treat a fish, pretty much

we put the water in a bucket and leave it in the sun for 2 days to break down the chemicals .

or you can use the water conditioner from the pet shop for the fish .
I will get some photos tonight of the crabs and post them on here
