Default I got crabs!

Well ok...not yet.


So I currently am running a Mumba 55g tank. Have 11 cichlids, 1 sindy cat, 1 chinese algea eater, and 2 blue lobsters.....and everything is just peachy keen and going well sofar *3months*.

So I know that everyone is leary of cray's in tanks....but yah, everything is fine and all the fish just seem to dance circles around the crays with ease. All that said though, I do not know how compatible a crab or two would be. To be honest, I would much prefer a few shrimp to help clean up, but I know they would be just food for everything. But a crab would be an interesting choice...provided they are able to stand up for themselves against the blues.

Anyway, has anyone had any experience with this setup? Any info would of course be appreciated.

Well, you will need a special shampoo for that.I advise shaving....

Not sure how they would do with the crays.

Yeah i would think they would fight and as usual the toughest would win. Crays generaly are 100% aquatic I believe so if you give the crabs some above water escape places maybe that would help.
