No figure 8.
BB gobies is a good call. Dunno about a halfbeak.
If you're interested in a paludarium, fiddler crabs are a nece choice.

Crabs are cool. What kind of water do they need (fw,sw, brackish)? Do they need live food?


Thanks!

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.

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?

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

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 think that just means you need to feed live foods. Frozen or live brine shrimp should work.
