Why it works
A real shoreline
Vampire crabs live at the water's edge, so that's what we build: planted land on one side, a flowing stream on the other, in one glass box. Not a tank with a rock in it.
Flow sized to the tank
The pump and filtration are matched to this exact system, like air-conditioning sized for the room. Enough current to keep the water healthy, gentle enough for the crabs.
Escape-proof by design
Crabs are climbers, so the fitted cover is part of the recipe, not an accessory: ventilation where it's needed, no gaps where it isn't.
Questions, answered
Is a Signature or a Commission right for me?+
A Signature is a proven design at a set price, ready in about 30 days. A Commission is designed from scratch around your space and ideas. If Riverbank is what you want, order it. If you want it shaped to you, commission it.
Which Signature suits me?+
Compare all five side by side (by animal, water, size and price) on the Signatures page.
When can the crabs go in?+
2-4 weeks after setup: a new system needs to mature first. We can source and introduce them for you once it's ready. See the add-ons above.
Can I collect it myself?+
Yes. Studio pickup at 475 Geylang Road is free.
What does my home need?+
A stable surface that takes the tank's weight, a power point nearby, and a spot out of direct sun (sun grows algae faster than plants). Not sure? WhatsApp us a photo.
How much work is it to keep?+
About 15 minutes a week, including the water change. The exact rhythm is in the care guide.
