About This Species
The Panther Crab is a large, fully aquatic freshwater crab from Sulawesi, known for its beautiful orange-yellow shell covered in dark spots. They are territorial and can be aggressive towards tank mates, so they are best kept in a species-only tank with plenty of space. They require warm, alkaline water to replicate their native lake environment.
