I'm thinking of getting a panther crab. My tank is a 55 gal and presently contains 2 Angelfish with body about 2-2 1/2" diameter (and a few small guppies). The Angelfish are a bit territorial. Do you think it would be possible to house a crab in the same tank without major conflict? I don't want the crab to be stressed.

Thanks.
 
Hi and welcome to the forum :)

Crabs should not be housed with fish, shrimp or plants you want to keep. Crabs are nocturnal predators/ scavengers and will catch, kill and eat anything they can catch.
 
Thank you, Colin T. Maybe I should wait until my betta in the 20 gal tank dies and replace him with the crab.
