My red crab escaped from my aquarium last night2007-11-24 23:39:26

Where the heck did it go? And how long can it survive w/out water??

Answers:

I had a Crayfish that did this once. I spotted him at the bottom corner of my Aquarium Stand and as I approached him he put his claws up at me! LOL! How cute!

I took him down to my LFS so they could feed him to their Oscar's.

Do you have any cats? check around the tank and if you have any kids, check their toy box.

my turtle ran away ( i know it sounds weird for a turtle to run away but, it did happen) it never came back. ran away for 2-3 months already. i really miss it. my brother's turtle ran away too one month later. never saw it again.*sniffle*cry*

Your red crab is a Dead Crab. Sorry dude.

They like dark places!

My crab used to escape alllllll the time. He would usually end up in the filter compartment of the aquarium, so that was lucky. He was using the plant leaves as a springboard. Silly crab.

That happened to me! But, mine was a crayfish (crawdaddy).

My daughter had caught it in a nearby creek, and added it to our aquarium.

Well, that crawdaddy climbed up the air filter tube, over the edge of the tank, and made a run for it!

We looked for days! No crawdaddy.

About a week later -

Late one evening, my sister was cuddled up on the sofa, with her boyfriend, when - from under the sofa, came a creature, all hairy, with no face!! Crawling, slowly, right between their feet!
