    Pom Pom Crabs is one of the most unique species. The little size made it a perfect option to add in our aquarium. Managing the water temperature is a must for them to live comfortably. Thank you so much for doing this video.

    Learning about their molting process was super insightful. I didn’t realize how crucial it was for their growth! This video definitely gave me a better understanding of how to care for Pom Pom Crabs.

    I am keeping three pom pom crabs in a 20 gallon along with 4 Hillstream loaches, 2 Kuhli Loaches, 2 Imperial Gudgeons, a pair of Rio Atoyac Swordtails, and a number of assorted snails. Everyone seems to get along fine. My Poms are just over a year old, and have each shed three times. They are very territorial toward each other, but territorial disputes are usually quite short lived. Each has a chunk of rainbow rock with a cave under it which they choose to live in except at feeding time. They come out as soon as the dinner bell rings. They are quite thankful that brine shrimp and bloodworms rain from heaven, and they make sure to get their share. They will also occasionally stand out in the water current between my filter outlet and the inlet at the opposite end of the tank, and catch stuff in their little pom poms, which they convey to their mouths and eat off of it. I never clean my tank and always rinse out all the filter pads from the other filters in their tank, and when I also toss all my used cooking oil in their tank too. No I don't. I'm just kidding on that part. I want my critters to live long, healthy lives, so there are frequent water changes, and the sand gets cleaned quite often too. The get plenty supplemental calcium and other minerals by snitching some which was intended for the shrimp and snails. I also strip the membranes out of any eggs we eat, then boil them to sanitize them, and crush them up and toss them into the water. Some of them slowly dissolve, while others get nibbled on slowly by the various shelled critters in the tank, including the crabs.
    I was delighted to see that these crabs engage in play. One gets his grins out of riding the bubbles from my air stone up to the top of the water, then spreading his legs out and parachuting back down to the surface. He will do this repeatedly with no apparent benefits other than the fun of it. He seems to think that they air stone was put there for no other reason than to be his personal play thing. Another likes to climb up on a particular leaf of a specific anubius plant, hold on to the tip of it with one claw while letting go with the other, and reaching out toward the bottom with his other, and when he gets a hold of something (usually the rock which has his cave under it) he pulls the thing as close and tight to it as he can, then enjoys the spring-back of the leaf as it goes back and forth. I sometimes have to trim and rotate the plant a bit, as the leave tip gets a bit damaged and eventually melts back far enough that he can't reach the ground anymore. These little guys are quite a lot of fun, and very purposeful in what they do. I have even trained one to come and eat out of my hand. I only have one fish who is on those sorts of terms with me, and that is one of my Hillstream loaches. They are also a very fun species which I highly recommend. I have a male and female reticulated hillstream loach, and a male and female red tailed hillstream loach, and not only are they interesting looking, but they are also a lot of fun. It's a hoot when one of them for no apparent reason gets the zoomies. Mine have been very friendly, and as I stated before, I even have one trained to eat out of my hand. They are great pets! Not quite as cuddly as a cat or a dog, but a pretty close second best, and they never wake you up at night needing to go outside to relieve themselves.

    I've kept Pom Poms, there are various different species involved when talking about them, and at least one of them can be very aggressive to anything it can grab with its claws and overpower. They are mostly all wild caught and you don't really know what one you're getting.I would not keep a Pom Pom with anything I thought it had any chance of attacking. You also repeatedly show an image of a dwarf ghost crab, which has smaller claws and thicker legs, and is smaller overall and genuinely peaceful in an aquarium.
