Fiddler crabs don't need brackish, but they do need an area where they can come out of the water for awhile.

I have recently kept fiddler crabs. They do need brackish water. They are labeled as freshwater crabs but will not last as long in freshwater as they would in a brackish water tank.

Not sure about crabs, but I ordered some cherry shrimp and recieved a "free" crayfish along with the shrimp. The punk decimated my tank before my girlfriend give it to the cats.

You might consider shrimp. They play very nice with fish.

Micro crabs are freshwater. But then again ... they are micro. lol. Litter buggers in deed.

One of my favs is the Haloween crab. However, unless they are the micro crabs, I wouldn't keep any crabs or cray with fish.
