Ghost Shrimp Vs. Red-Clawed Crab

[muzzyvora]

In terms of pros vs cons, which one would be better for my aquarium? or can i even get both? i wanted to get a few in order to keep my tank a little bit cleaner. i dont think thqat any of my fishes would get bothered by any of them. but based on how long they live (and breed) and how effective they are at cleaning, and how hard it is to take care of them etc, what would you guys suggest i get?

The crabs are not suitable. They are primarily land crabs. Need access to land and also brackish water. They will also eat fish given half the chance

oh very interesting. somehow the pet store forgot to mention that they are more like land crabs than aquatic crabs. Thanks

sadly they are very commonly mis-sold as aquatic.
