| djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003 | Despite the fact that fiddler crabs are almost always sold as "freshwater" crabs, they will die without salt. Brackish water is fine with alot of rocks and wood and stuff to let them get out of the tank. Some crab tanks have a foot of water with 3-5 rocks and pieces of wood for them to crawl out of. Others have an inch of water with huge rock formations. It's your call, they will be fine either way. As for food, they make pellets for them. If you can't find that, hermit crab food works too. |

| 123mjb Enthusiast Posts: 215 Kudos: 226 Votes: 13 Registered: 31-Mar-2004 | How many could live in a 20-gallon? And, I dont mean to push it, but could any fish live with them in a twenty gallon? |

| djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003 | Heck yeah! You could easily have 20 in a 20 gallon, moreso if it's a long. You could have bb gobies easily in there. Probably some of the bigger livebearers (mollies, platies) if there is deep enough water. But I would suggest sticking to the 10 gallon In a 20, you can do alot of freshwater diversity. I would be iffy to devoting it to crabs, as they are less active than most fish. But it's up to you  |

Natalie     Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003  | Fiddler Crabs are pretty much harmless to fish that aren't sick and dying (especially the males due to the fact that they only have one functional claw). In a 10 gallon, I would go with five crabs and seven gobies.  I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

| 123mjb Enthusiast Posts: 215 Kudos: 226 Votes: 13 Registered: 31-Mar-2004 | I read on the profiles that BB gobies r hard 2 feed. Just how hard is that? Thanks!!! |

| djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003 | I think that just means you need to feed live foods. Frozen or live brine shrimp should work. |
