I have some in a 75 gallon freshwater community fish tank, and they do just fine. I had three fish meet their end due to them, but they are what they are... crabs, and they will eat fish if given the chance to do so. I provide my minis access to air via hanging plant structure, that they can climb up above the water line in my tank. This has worked well for them so far. Check my vids to see some very rare footage of mini crabs in action. I subbed you feel free to do the same, if you like.
Fidler crabs be goin ham, I turned one upside down before in second grade and he got mad at me, for the rest of the school year he was straight muggin me so when everyone went over to look at him he would just stare but when I went he pointed his claw at me and shook it like the evil monkey on family guy
Are they just in freshwater or did you have to make it brackish? I want to get some but don't want to make my tank brackish or make my tank 1/2 land and water..
You guys who have these in your tank are lucky. I live in NYC and we are at the mercy of Petland (for those of us with limited incomes or only make enough to barely survive) and they look at you like you are crazy even if you mention fiddler crabs.
I had to once explain to a young kid that such a crab does exist.
you could win a dance battle if you trained one of those things as a finally, after poppin and lockin you could have one crawl on your hand in front of the other guys face and he will pop and lock too, and the dj will be like damn he just got pinched lls
Sorry, I find it a little hard to believe a Fiddler killed your fish...their claws are ridiculously weak. They can barely even close them. They are there for show. I'd be much more worried about my fish making a snack of my fiddler crab.
Their big claws aren't particularly weak, they hurt as much as expected when they pinch you. My crab killed a dying guppy of mine, and it's claw is strong enough to crush a large wasp.
I hate my crab. Mine caused the death of one of my fish, and the major injury of another. And dont say that fiddlers dont do that, beause I WATCHED it slie by fish into riboons (cutt its back fins off, then it drowned before I could save it)
Fiddler crabs do that, you can't blame him only yourself it's his instinct infact, these fiddler crabs are actually wild when you buy them from the pet store because they are so hard to breed same thing with hermit crabs.
@hiddenThecakeisalie you can take the crab out of the wild but you cant take the wild out of the crab, did you think pincers were just for human entertainment lol
@ouellette666 That was a long time ago when I knew nothing about fish and aquariums, so obviously I was going to have trouble. But now i'm doing much better, 10 gallon and 30 gallon, and NO CRABS! thank god
@NaiJorJul I already said that I didnt mean it "Drowned". I uysed to think that a fish could drown if it were upside down, so...yeah. I dont need people who keep saying "lol drowned fish haha". Obviously it was a stupid thing to say. But yeah, basically the crab cut the fish. I was trying to make it sound more dramatic.
@hiddenThecakeisalie wow ur the worst animal person ever u cant hate an animal for doing what it does u shoulda known not to put crabs with fish and dont say " my friend did it!" because maybe ur friends crab is diffrent but normally they do that
@Cronxes lol you should see my two fish tanks now, 1 YEAR AFTER I posted the original comment. It fucking rocks dude. Live plants, shrimp, beautiful fish, in my ten gallon and 30 gallon.
Can you people stop replying to my old comments? God damn....
