Hi , I love these little critters ,is there a little crab that can be kept in a tropical tank with other community fish and without leaving the tank half empty?

There are Thai Micro Crabs, but other than that - no.

Thanks Standbysetting ,so its a no for crabs then ,just looked at the Thai ones and they look too much like spiders,too creepy, and they`re too small!!


Red Claw Thai Tropical Crab *Sesarma Bidens* Live Java Hi Standbysetting ,what about this one?

 

[ZoddyZod]

SBS was accurate in his reply.....only the micro crab could possibly be kept in a community setting

Red claws need brackish water and are predominantly land crabs.

As per ZoddyZod's reply, community unfriendly and Brackish.

Thanks both ,just another question ,can the micro crab be kept in a full tank of water?

 

[ZoddyZod]

yes, the micro does not need access to land, it is fully aquatic.

However, don't have any fish in there with mouths large enough to nibble them!
