Feeding Fish Fidler Crabs

[randallhart]

Well, saw some at wal-mart and wondered if I sort of disabled the crab and put it in my tank would the fish eat it? And is it okay for them to eat any kind of crab. Like if you find little ones on the beach and happen to catch some.

Please don't disable it. Thats not natural, give it the best chance it's got. I'm ok with people feeding animals other animals, but let it have a fighting chance.

t would depend on what fish you keep!

but i'm with ArauraDiscus, on leaving the crabs whole if you do.

O.K. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure the fish would be able to eat them. I don't want the crab to live in my tank because it would die eventually. But I don't think I'll be trying it right now. Maybe in the future.

Whats the point when you can get other foods which probably have more nutrients in them?

I don't know. Just a thought.
