How Often?
* Adult Fiddler Crabs: They can be fed once a day, or even every other day. They don't eat a lot at a single meal.
* Young Fiddler Crabs: They need to eat more frequently, as they grow rapidly. They should be fed daily, perhaps even twice a day.
What to Feed:
* Commercial Crab Food: This is a good staple, but it shouldn't be the only thing they eat.
* Algae: Spirulina, nori, and other types of algae are great sources of nutrients.
* Fruits and Vegetables: Offer small pieces of fruits like banana or mango, and vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or broccoli.
* Fish Flakes: Small flakes can be a good supplement, but avoid flakes that are too high in protein.
* Dead Insects: Small, dried insects like crickets or mealworms can be a good source of protein.
Important Notes:
* Remove uneaten food: Leftover food can pollute the water.
* Variety is Key: Offer a diverse diet to ensure your crab gets all the nutrients it needs.
* Observe Your Crab: Watch your crab's eating habits. If it's not eating, there might be something wrong, like a change in water parameters or a health problem.
