Fiddler crab

[MollyBreeder]

Would it be possible to keep one or two fiddler crabs in a 2.5 gallon aquarium?

Sure, they require brackish water and some way to get dry/out of the water. If you only filled it 2/3 of the way up and left a rock or something sticking out, it would probably work out.

I wouldn't count on the rest of your fish living. I reckon they'll tear them to shreds.

I keep my fiddlers with mollies and bumblebee gobies without incident.

I wouldn't be so hasty b rob. Crabs are known to be able to catch small fish and eat them. Especially so in such a small tank. There is always a possibilty. A free meal is a free meal.:dance2:

maybe they should've been more specific. fast moving fish are ok, but slow moving ones can get caught.

 

[Sploke]

Yeah, and mine are in a 40gal tank, so the fish aren't reall crammed in next to the crabs. That might help.

It would be a crab only tank
