What do newly hatched red clawed crabs eat?

Answer #1

I quote the following: “… Fluid artemia is a good choice of food for the crab larvae when they are newly hatched and very small. Feeding 3-5 times a day is usually enough. Keep in mind that a heavy current in the aquarium makes it hard for the crab larvae to catch the artemia. Adjustments might have to be done during feeding. Remember to measure to levels of nitrate and nitrite regularly and keep them as low as possible. Avoid over-feeding. When the larvae grow bigger they will start hunting live artemia bred in the aquarium as well. You can then decrease the feeding. …” From the red clawed crag breeding article at: http://funadvice.com/r/bf4dftn6jgo

Artemia are brine shrimps and can be obtained live for feeding crab larvae, http://funadvice.com/r/bf7dq7t1ibr

Or as de-shelled brine shrimp eggs: http://funadvice.com/r/14n4ijvn8eg
