What To Do With Tank?

[Lightning86]

Hey Guys!

I have a Fluval Deep Duo 800!
Wanting to set it up but not sure what to do with it.

Someone said getting Red Claw Crabs would be a good idea!
But I know very little about them!

the tank has a Heater and External Filter.

Any advice would be great!
Or anyone who knows what the lil red crabs need?

I've googled it and I think I'm right by saying it's 125l? If so, you could have a decent sized planted shrimp tank with a group of shoaling fish (although only really small fish). Or maybe a breeding tank for some sort of plec or cory? I don't really know much about crabs, so hopefully somebody else can help out there.

cheers

Thank you for the idea,
Appreciate the thought but not too keen on the ideas

How about a puffer tank?

Not really sure if I want fish again

Red clawed crabs are brackish and need to have some areas out of the water, so if you can provide that then they're pretty active little guys.

If you don't want fish inverts are pretty much your only option, or maybe go completely the other way with salamanders or axolotl?

How do you set up the Brackish?

I think axolotl's need a bigger tank than 125ltr.

Fair point. I've read that a single one would be happy in anything from about 3ft upwards but I don't really know a great deal about them except that they live in water and aren't fish
