The store I got them from (a chain store) was advertising them as fresh water crabs. I moved them into a brackish tank (running about 1.010 salinity). They're running all over the tank right now, gobbling up the algae that grew while cycling the tank. I've seen them already running out of the water up on top of the drift wood. The store they came from had no way to get out of the water. The clerk told me they didn't need it.
