When someone online told me about the product (Pamz)
and how many successful molts came about, I had to try
it! It's much less expensive than sand (calci or marine),
BUT you have to shop around. I found a GIANT size online
for $16, and the same thing was at a local store for $30!
It comes in a brick and expands in warm water. A small
brick is perfect for a 10-15 gallon. I use the giant size
for tunneling jumbos in half of my 75 gallon.
Since a lot of crabs are found in soil AND sand (depending
on the species), it stands to reason that we should provide
both. The FB substrate is soil-like, and can be re-wetted
as needed. It should be VERY moist. There are 0 problems
with bacteria, like some have experienced with damp/wet
sand. This gives the crabs the moisture they want without
sacrificing health due to mold/fungus/bacteria.
You take the brick, let it sit in hot water for 20-30
minutes and it expands to an unbelievable size.
