Won't that eat the fish, Probem with crabs is that if they are to small they are bait and if they are only a little bigger by morning they are alone.WckedMidas said:

not touching that line if you paid me. Reminds me though, for you floridians, how about boxcrabs?iheartfishies said:
The main problem with finding a crab that can hold its own around larger fish is that these crabs will also actively hunt down the fish. I started raising malawi blue swimming crabs. These guys reach about 9" across. A major part of their diet is fish. I feed them mostly frozen tilapia and catfish but, they also hunt down and kill foot long shad and scores of minnows. These crabs even hunt down each other. I have to keep them all separated until the males are literally humping the glass to get to a females tank. Then, I have to immediately remove the male after spawning or the female will kill and eat him.
Not many out there. I have some Florida Blue crayfish they can hold their own but will eat small fish and all your plants. I slowly brought them up to 78 degrees and they do fine, however , they eat morein warmer water.
I did come across a Australian Blue Lobster (FW) they will get over 15" and not much will bother them. As alway when introducing new fish its has always my gole is to do so after a major tank cleaning. I move plants around and change up the territories a bit and they seem to work out much better especially for the new additions.
