what do red clawed crabs eat?

Question

I know the freshwater crabs are omnivores but what do I feed them and where can i buy it?

Answer 1

They are scavengers so they will eat anything that settles to the bottom of the tank. But you can also feed them snails, vegetables and plants. also some homemade food here's a recipe for all your fish actually.

"Before your start, get yourself a food processor. Then you can make any one of the various recipes that are kicking around. Most of these recipes have several things in common; namely they are bound together by unflavored gelatin and contain whole fish, vegetable matter, and beef heart. This is my recipe. I food-process several multivitamin tables (with vitamin C) to dust, then process about 1/2 kilo of the red meat portion of a beef heart (cut away from all the fat and connective tissue). Then goes in a good handful of spinach leaves (no stems), one young whole zucchini, and a few raw carrots. Then the bulk of the food is added, which is whole fish. The fish I originally used were those minnows sold as bait, but I have since discovered Shun Fat, an Oriental supermarket in Forest Lawn (at 3215 17th Ave, SE). Here you can get a wide assortment of frozen sea foods. Nowadays I buy a kilo of frozen capelin since they are full of nutritious roe. I also get a frozen 1/2 kilo bag of something called "shrimp fry". I am not sure exactly what this is (some form of krill I think) but it's a lot cheaper than buying real shrimp, which I would have to do if this wonderful stuff weren't available. I also add 1/2 kilo of mosquito larvae and Daphnia that I had collected myself and froze previously (see below for a discussion on live food collecting). All the ingredients are processed to a thick paste. Then a liter of water is added and the mixture is brought to a low boil to congeal the blood. I then dissolve three large boxes (36 packets) of Knox unflavored gelatin in a liter of cool water. I mix this liquid into the food (after it's cooled a bit) and let the mixture set overnight in the refrigerator. The next day I split the jelly into two or three-day feeding portions and freeze them separately in sandwich-sized freezer bags. I keep one freezer bag defrosted in the refrigerator at all times. My cichlids and turtles love this stuff. It sinks and doesn't cloud the water (too much)."

Answer 2

Red Claw Crab

Answer 3

The Red Claw Crabs eat about anything that settles to the bottom on the tank. I feed them sinking wafers, algae wafers, shrimp pellets, frozen bloodworms, and frozen mosquito larvae. I have found out they will eat some plants. I placed a small amount of Java Moss, Corkscrew Vallisneria, Duckweed, and Brazilian Waterweed in the tank. All which were eaten by the crabs. I have some Java Fern and Cryptocoryne Wendtii which the crabs have not touched yet. I have fed my crabs peas, which they will eat. The crabs would most likely eat other vegetables. The crabs will also eat snails

Answer 4

They eat fish and other crabs. Do you get the Discovery Channel? Have you ever watched that program called "Deadliest Catch". They primarily use cod. Watch the program if you get it - it's really good and very educational.
