Hello everyone I was at walmart and saw the cutest litttle tiny crabs in the aquaruim full of water of course the worker did not know what kind they where but a woman standing there said she thought it was a fiddler crab. anyone seen or heard of these tiny things and i guess you can put them in a tank of water?
 
Nope, you can not I'm afraid.

All the common crabs sold for aquariums in the US and UK (fiddlers and red claws) are mainly terrestrial, they need a large land area and brackish water area (made with salt used for marine/reef aquariums).

There are some totally aquatic and totally freshwater crabs, but it seems to be only the Thai micro crab (Limnopilos naiyanetri) that is rarely available, and they are tiny and like to hide a lot.
