    Fiddler crabs?

    Just curious, what is the best way to keep fiddlers alive for several days. I have had some left over, and keeping them in the aerated bucket with the shrimp has not worked out too well

    damp newspaper, sea weed and or paper egg cartons all work well. a combo of sea weed and egg cartons work best. keep them damp but not soaking and keep cool. they will live a long time if kept cool and damp. they do stink so keep them somewhere you can tolerate the odor.
