Fiddler Crabs...

8)If anyone ever gets these cute adorable little crabs for there fish tank please let me know as this is not how they should be kept, way to many fiddler crabs are being sold under the assumtion that they are for your aquarium, when indeed they are not. Fiddler crabs do not live in the water and and should not be made to do so otherwise... I have kept these crabs for many years off and on and i dont think they should ever be made to die invain just because a petshop or store has them for sale under the assumtion that they make great aquarium pets.. Please let me know and il fill ya in on how to care for them properly... Thanks for your time....

Re: Fiddler Crabs...

I went to the pet store and saw a moon crab (at least I think that's what they called it) and it was very cute and large!! No they didn't have it in a fish tank. It was in an enclosure that had a side with water and a side with a "beach". But they were very pretty.

I did not know that there were so many species of fiddler crabs. Here is a website that describes all the different species and shows pictures of many of them.http://www.fiddlercrab.info/uca_species.html

Re: Fiddler Crabs...

Yeah, it looked alot like that one, but I think the legs were more purple and on claw was A LOT bigger. But it look pretty much like that.
