Crabs

Well then what is the point of asking about care when you're not going to listen?

I've told you they need brackish water and some dry land....

With 16 Dead fish I think listening to advice would be your best shot....

He might be fun to watch, but how fun for him is it if you arn't keeping him in suitable conditions? Either you need to do a lot of research asap and do a major tank overhaul or return him and maybe get another tank and start setting it up for when you can keep a crab in a good habitat. Not trying to sound rude at all but we have a responsibility to keep our pets in as good of a home as possible and very smart members are giving you good advice. I'd think it'd be a good idea to take it! Good luck with everything.

Most crabs are opportunistic omnivores, and given the chance, this crab WILL eat you fish. No, he is not a vegetarian, and do not think that he is. He NEEDS brackish water, and access to land.

I cannot stress enough how important researching new additions to your tank before you get them is. If you refuse to do this and keep buying on impulse every time you see something you are, to be frank, a bad fish/crab keeper.

If you really do love this crab as much as you say, you should return him to the store or set up a tank just for him.
