I went out to buy some microcrabs and get more snails and came home to this
I am so proud of him. He tried looking innocent when I came to the tank but his fat belly betrayed him.
Tomorrow he also gets to try out these:

They are called Micro Crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetri). It's a false spider crab that is fully aquatic and lives in freshwater.

I think their body stays sub 1cm. They are very small. When I put on on my tongs and tried feeding it to Pig he got pinched in the nose
and ignored them for some time, but right now he is enthausiastically trying to dig out an anubias nana because a crab is hiding in there
. Might have to get another tank sometime to breed them.

Empty shells should work to some extent.
