    Default What about little crabs ?

    Was in the fish store tonight and picked up 5 new little fish, noticed they had a tank that had a bunch of little brown colored crabs about the size of quarters..... are these any good to keep in a community tank ?

    Most "freshwater" crabs really need land, and many need brackish water. Knowing the exact species of crab and what you have in the tank would help.
    I hate hearing people say "it's only a $3/$5/$1 fish/shrimp, so it's ok if it dies, I can just get another." It's still an animal! All animals should be treated like they're worth $10,000.

    Please click an egg so they'll grow.

    Any type of crab that I have tried keeping in a tank has either started eating my fish when they slept, or died in some hard to get to place.
