Feed powdered invertebrate foods, crushed snails and algae wafers. They will also graze on biofilm and plant detritus. Do not keep them with aggressive fish or large shrimp that may prey on them. Small rasboras, micro tetras or shrimp species like Amano make suitable tank mates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of their minute size, micro crabs are adept climbers.
