They need both - they wont just drink salt water- please provide them- you only have to be as large as your largest crab needs to get fully in the dish

No salt baths only for mites (read again the sticky) its very important but you need to do it the first time you get them and then check and take it accordingly to the instructions
My post doesnt talk about misting does it? I dont mist
