Suggestions For Adding To Tank

[This Old Spouse]

In my 10 gallon setup I now only have one female fiddler crab and a Chinese algae eater. Anyone have suggestions for adding to this tank? It's half-full with slightly brackish water.

Anybody??

possibly mollies?

I think the situation is a little too small for mollies. It's just a 10 gallon with about 5 gallons of water in it for the crab. I'm thinking of raising the water level, but then I'd have to be very careful about not providing escape routes for her.

It's funny how the CAE was just fine with all the male guppies I had in there, but when I introduced the females it became really aggressive toward them. I was also thinking about putting the CAE into my 55 gallon, but I don't want it to start attacking my other fish there.

Fiddler crabs and fish do not mix, they will more than likely eat them,especially if fish are resting near the bottom.

Has you only have the tank half full,more than likely will snack on any brackish fish you may put in there.

Plus your CAE will grow too big for your tank anyway...

The CAE and crab get along with each other well. But, do you think I should move the CAE into my bigger tank? Will it disrupt everything?

I have 2 CAE in my 55 gal and they got to be about 4" and 5" long, they are aggressive, but they don't really do anything other then chase a fish for a few seconds or just dart across the tank for some reason.
