Default Crabs

I would like to ask, is it possible to mix crabs e.g. mandarin, vampire, red apple crabs together or is it best to keep them by species??

I think mandarin crab and vampires can go together?? Not sure but i think is best to keep species alone. Red apple crabs can grow to quite a big size so i dnt think is recommended. Not very sure must wait for other bros to comment . Btw, do u have any mandarin crabs? If u do have can u pm me where u bought them from? Thanks a lot

depends how you feed ... i feed mine with meal worms and frozen bloodworms , put in into a small platform for the crabs to eat , and easy to clear as well .
