Unlike yours, mine rarely go into the water.

Mine like to sit in holes of wood and stones underwater, or they hide in the plastic plants on the land parts.
A larger waterpart can be filtered and heated easily. They live together with applesnails.

Are females more shy then males?

I can't say: my adults (wild-caught) are all shy, they hide quickly at the slightest noise.

But the babies don't.

Silane should have all that worked out by now though.

I think mold will appear if the microganism isnt balance or have carbon/protein source, I encourage proper microrganism growth by dosing BT-9. So far, no appearing of visable mold.

Hi Silane. I am thinking of revamping my vampire crabs setup and wish to ask what kind of plants do you use in the land section of your tank? Thank you.
