Crabs can eat fish, it's usually recommended not to keep them together. Some crabs will even kill other crabs and have to be kept solitary.

Many crabs are also amphibious, and need a large area of land to explore. If you can get a pic, we could identify it.

I agree with Tyler. Many crabs need to come out of the water to survive.

Is it a true crab or is it a crayfish? A pic works wonders, too.
