Can 11 (6 female and 5 male) crabs breed in one container? will the newly born egg grow in there too?

Its almost 3 weeks now since i caught crabs from a river near tou our house, (im from philippines) im keeping all 11 of them in one big round plastic basin. Im wondering if will they ever breed in there? And if ever mother crab is abaout to lay eggs, will i separate her to a different container? By the way, i dont realy know whats the real name for those freshwater crab. They got red orange claws, some of them got black back, some got black with brown red spots in there. My biggest male is three inches long, claw to claw spreaded.

  • If they don’t die from oxygen depletion you’ll be lucky unless the tank is awfully big.

    especially with your heat!

    I don’t know what they eat or if they would breed.
