Crabs, Crayfish, Shrimp

[matt_storey]

I currently have a 5ft tank with 2 Oscars, 3 Gold Sevs and an Angel, an L001 and common plec

are there any crabs/crayfish/shrimp that wont get eaten by the cichlids?

how small is the cichlids ? if it is not fully grown then you will be able to put a blue lobster in the tanks they are recomended 1 blue lobster to every 60L so im gessing you could have to or three. The most popular crab is a red crab but they are quite small so it might get attacked so i would stay away from them and shrimps do not get verry big and would become a nice snack for your cichlids.

you will probably be ok as long as they do not fit in their mouths. the crab would put up a fight though. Crayfish also!
