Are there any entirely aquatic FW crabs?
Are there any freshwater crabs that are strictly aquatic, i.e., no need to provide them with any dry land? If I got any crabs, I would want the kind that can live full-time in my aquarium with the fish.

I don't think so. If there are, I'd imagine they're hard to find. All I ever see for sale are Red-Claw Crabs.

Yes there are. I had one once, way back in the day. Can't remember what the name of the little guy was, but he was fully aquatic and freshwater. I have not seen any since though.

These would have to be coldwater creatures, since I have a coldwater tank. I'll look them up.
