Have you seen your Vampire Crabs mating before? Was it any different?

@jhs5467 5 месяцев назад

I´ve footage of the mating on land, which included a lot of foam produced and an envy 2nd male catching the female as soon the act was over... very lucky to have it documented, guess i´ll cut the footage now :D

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

@@jhs5467 Wow! That's awesome! I've seen it a few times on land but they are always in some super hard place to see properly! It's just as brutal too! In the first bit of this footage another crab climbed straight over the top of these two 😂 but there was too many reflections to upload.

@fredericcolombier5380 5 месяцев назад

No, on the other hand, you have to be careful, I wanted to give them the green grasshopper which swarms in my garden, no problem with the red pincers, they make jump of 30 cm long to hunt their prey, but with the Dennerles, I have one who lost a pincer and two legs in the story, the grasshopper was defended heroically well it was dropped on by the other two just after. Do they have limbs that eventually grow back like some reptiles or is it permanently lost for them ?

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

@@fredericcolombier5380 that's a pretty crazy story! Luckily they grow back when they molt but it might take a month or two 😊

Why they make out in the water

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

They do it on land too. It doesn't matter where they are, as long as the male can catch the female it's game on!

@AndrewZanella 4 месяца назад

Very interesting...I really hope I don't come back as a female crab in my next life.

@IndoorEcosystem 4 месяца назад

Me neither 😅 they get a rough deal. But still better than male mantids!

@TheChocolateflute 5 месяцев назад

This is so educational thank you! One more question, do they have to mate in the water or mating can happen both in land or water

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

I'm glad you found it as interesting as me 😊 They can mate on land or in water. I've seen it happen on land more though. I suspect it's an opportunistic approach. Males just jump on a female whenever they think they have a chance.

@Poeticfloetic 5 месяцев назад

Loved this. ❤

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

It was pretty cool to catch I just hope I can catch one with less reflections and a bit more light so I don't have to crank iso way over 1000 😅

@Poeticfloetic 5 месяцев назад

@@IndoorEcosystemI cannot wait. Your videos are very informative and interesting. I appreciate your uploads 💯🙌☺️

@DeborahKingston 5 месяцев назад

I haven't caught any of the mating process yet. Does this take seconds or longer? You would think the survival of species the males would be a little less aggressive.

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

I caught this already started but it went for 15 minutes. I've seen previous ones go way longer but that's usually the male trying to flip the female. Sometimes they'll be in a hold stance for easily an hour.

@scorchinggoat9589 5 месяцев назад

males that are more agressive are probably more likely to successfully ferilise the eggs so crabs with the agressive gene probably have a higher chance of passing the gene to their offspring

@alternateaquatics 5 месяцев назад

Man the life of a crab sure is a brutal one!

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

You can say that again!

@madmagni 5 месяцев назад

Hi, Ive been watching your videos for a while now and I love them. I have a 5 gallon tank with a male and 2 female crabs, do you think the male will fight or even kill the other females?

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

Hello, it's always possible, some males are more aggressive than others. The best way to reduce the chances are a really detailed tank so everyone can escape easily and hide. Other than that it's a bit of a gamble. Hopefully your male isn't too bad.

@@madmagni Yep! The best and most cost effect are Crushed Coral Or Aragonite Sand. These will slowly buffer the water for you.

@PTAquaVision-mj3yp 5 месяцев назад

Nice! I was also lucky enough to be able to film a mating. Unfortunately it is so rare and you have to be really quick. So I never had the opportunity to film it in high quality.😊

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

They always find the worst possible spot to film don't they 😅 I had my 1.8f lens cranked to 1000+ ISO and I still had to increase exposure to make the footage usable! But It turned out reasonable considering I leave my camera set up these days just so I can save a bit of time when I see something cool.

@tmccandlish2144 5 месяцев назад

well damn that explains what happened to 1 of my females i think.. I found her dead missing a claw and a leg😕

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

Sounds like a very likely scenario. The more the females fight, the worse it is usually. And if you have quite a few males the females get the hell beaten out of them.

@thediplomat1124 5 месяцев назад

The strategy here seems so counterintuitive 😬

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

I sure does seem like it! But I guess they are playing a numbers game because they do drop a fair few babies when it's successful.

@TarasTankFriends 5 месяцев назад

Brutal like you said, but interesting to see them doing this. 👍 I hope this little lady gets to keep her eyes! 👀

@johnsonjunior547 5 месяцев назад

I found my female dead in the water today, i feel like i had a good diet and environment and have had her about a month. I saw a molt from my male (i think, its hard to tell bc snails devoured part of it) in the water about 3 inches away from the dead female. Is it a possibility they happened to meet in the water and this mating process happened? My males and females tend to stay on seperate sides of the tank in the land portion. How common is this behavior? Bc if its very rare, i may need to rethink my husbandry Additionally, my water is about 5 inches deep and the land portion is 90 degrees up but i added branches and wood to help them climb up on each side of the paladarium. Is it common for crabs to drown? I feel like theyre very adept at climbing so i would sorta doubt my female couldnt climb wood at a 50 degree angle. Sry for rambling a bit, i just dont know what killed my female and since im new to crabs i dont know how to keep my other females alive if the same thing may happen to them

@IndoorEcosystem 5 месяцев назад

It's highly possible that the male has mated with her or tried to mate with her and it killed her. I've seen it happen just recently I watched the female escape from the male only to die in front of my eyes a couple of minutes later... It was rough, she scurried off pretty fast, then twitched a bit and died on the spot... They are very good climbers and can even climb fully upside down so I don't think it's an access issue or drowning in this case. The other highly likely scenario is age. Most Vampire Crabs in the hobby are wild caught so it's hard to know their age when you get them. And as they only live for about 2 -2.5 years you might have had an older crab.
