Hey all im Theano... super excited to b part of this Forum... i currently have a 50 gallon tank... water and land sence... with live plants/bamboos...
Tenants include 6 fiddler crabs(3 females..3 males) ... 2 feed goldfish... 2 dwarf frogs... and hand full snails(mainly tiny ones)... yes u know this isn't ideal but so far haven't had any problems w all them living together... even have a female fiddler w a full clutch...
 
Welcome!.

Yes, crabs are intelligent, active and beautiful.

I have two Panther crabs which are fully aquatic.
They are beautiful and about 1.5 inches at the moment
They molted very frequently(probably once every 2-3 weeks).
I keep them with some Fire red, Tiger shrimps and small fish(Sparkling Gourami, Clown Killifish)

hi and welcome. would love to have a fiddler crab tank (that sounds like should be visiting a doctor for :) )
 
I use to keep fiddler and red clawed crabs, really liked them but they never seemed to last more then a few months. Now I know more about how to better keep them and hope to have some in the future.
 
Welcome! I'd love to see pics of your tank. Fiddler crabs are cool. We used to have one, until my daughter forgot to put the lid on the tank and he went for a walk. :X

Do you find that they spend most of their time on land, or in the water? Ours was always up on his land area except when he was looking for food.
