i want a crab thats going to be able to be in a tank and whold its own against some mean fish so what types of crabs would you suggest
 
straight up cheseapeak bay blue crab
 
look at the name under ur member name on the left
get a few of those
 
blue crabs are marine, and require cold temperatures dont they?

red claw crabs are too small, ive lost about 10 of those things due to my cichlids eating them or them crawling out of the tank

There aren't any monster crabs we know of that are available in the hobby, or that you wouldnt have to end up paying a hundred bucks for. Stick with a crayfish.
 
I've had my fair share of crabs....

errr...

They always get eatin.

I even had this CRUCIAL HUGE crayfish that couldn't even pick up his pinchers they were so big. He just dragged them around. They just waited till he molted, then he was just a tasty little morsel.

sunds like a ichy situation to me. :cry: :hitting: :omg:
 
anyone who thinks any freshwater crayfish could stand the onslaught of a hungry trimac or festae is kidding themselves. with crayfish if they cant eat the fish the fish can more than likely kill them. all crays have to molt as well. then they are sitting ducks.
 
Yep.
I actually had a crayfish live for months with them.
Then he just died.
Wasn't picked on or eatin.
Just layin on his back.
He was part of the fish family in the tank.:(
