Question
My mom doesn't want to get two tanks(isolation and normal.) Can I use a plastic tank as an isolation tank?

Answer
Absolutely. You just need to make sure that you keep the temp and humidity within the proper ranges. You should only need an ISO for things like new crabs and sick ones (very rare). Your crabs can generally molt in the main tank as long as your substrate is deep enough.
