Tricolor Pooh Borneo Crab (Lepidothelphusa sp)
Tricolor Pooh Borneo Crab (Lepidothelphusa sp.)
The Tricolor Pooh Borneo Crab is a rare and visually striking freshwater crab known for its bold coloration and unique personality. Originating from the jungle streams of Borneo, this species showcases a beautiful mix of earthy browns, creamy tones, and subtle reddish hues—giving it a natural yet eye-catching “tricolor” appearance.
Despite its small size, this crab has a big personality. It is highly active, constantly exploring its environment, climbing over rocks, and scavenging for food. Like many freshwater crabs, Lepidothelphusa species require access to both land and water, making them perfect for paludariums or riparian-style setups.
Due to their territorial nature, these crabs are best kept alone or in carefully planned setups. Their rarity and unique care requirements make them a great addition for hobbyists looking to branch out beyond fish and into exotic aquatic invertebrates.
