crabs with cory and guppy

[Sgooosh]

so i saw something about keeping crabs and fish together, is that a good idea?
im talking like mini crabs at the pet store,
do they need a basking spot?

i have 2 swordtails
a lot of guppy
many cories

bad idea.

crabs and crayfish should not be kept with fish because the crabs & crays are nocturnal predators and will eat the fish.

I concur, bad idea. I’ve seen crayfish catch and eat mosquito fish in the river behind my house. It’s amazing how fast they are.
