Fiddler crabs need a semi-terrestrial environment to live. We recommend a platform at the water surface they can sit on. Do not mix with slow fish or bottom dwellers, as they can be predatory. These guys are very good escape artists, so make sure your tank is securely covered. These are all male crabs, hence the enlarged claw. They enjoy slightly brackish waters.
