You can get a 10 gallon glass aquarium or only $10.00 at Wal-mart. I personaly thing that a 5 gallon it too small even for 2 crabs. They can never have too much space. I have a 55 gallon for my 22 crabs and I wish I had much more. More space and crabs. I can never have too much of either. Give them all the space you possibly can. They will love you for it.

I agree with you on this! There are caresheets on forums and these are more researched and up to date.
