These unusual freshwater crabs lead an exclusively aquatic life and have so far only been discovered in one river in Thailand where they live in water hyacinths. However, in a tank they seem to adapt to other surroundings without difficulty, even preferring to sit on wood than floating plants. They are not carnivorous, and behave and often kept with Caridina shrimps / Crystal shrimp as their care and feeding are similar. Suitable for Nano tanks, and is the first crab species available which has attributes suitable for such.
