Red Crab In Community Tank!

[pcam86]

Hi, Today i bought 5 noen tetra, 5 glowlights and a red crab to go with my siamese fighter in my 2 foot tank.

I was just wondering if these fish will be ok with the red crab as i don't really know anything about crabs so i'm just after a little help. Any other info on red crabs would be great. thanks!

This is why one should do research before making a purchase. You should probably remove the crab as soon as possible if you don't want to have fish start disappearing in the night.

There is a red crab topic in the gourami section you might want to read.

and remember red crabs should NOT be fully submerged. They DO need to be able to get out of the water!!!

If the betta in your tank is a male, then I would also strongly suggest moving it out of that tank and putting it in its own tank, something like 2-5 gallons. As the tetras have a tendency to nip at betta's fins, so you may end up with a fish with shredded fins.

My brother had a lobster in his tank, and in the day it was very good, but at night, when the lights went out, it went hunting, ..... you got it, the other fish kept slowy dissapearing over a few days, till my brother realised, he took the lobster straight back to the Lfs......

We named him "Sebastian" Too lol
