Red-Clawed crab
Just been to a local pet shop and found some Red-Clawed crabs. I have a tank with tiger barbs, common plec (About 3"), Raphael Catfish (About 1.5") and a Red Tailed Shark (Hes a big softy about 1.5"), with two baby Turtles (The turtles are soft so wouldn't really a threat to the crabs). Just wondering if i would be able to have a Red-Clawed crab in the tank?
The pet shop said no, but i have read differently. Just wondering if anybody knows?

They are brackish animals. They need some salt in the water to thrive.

I keep tropical fish and breed them succesfully along with quite a few of my friends We all have the small red claw crabs in the tank with the fish and never had any problems with them. Make sure they can get out tho and have abit of room to move. If you have slow moving fish then it may become a problem

go into alot of maidenhead aquatics which in my opinion are brilliant and they mix all breeds of crabs with fish the only big company to say no is PAH which quite frankly shouldnt be allowed so sell live animals my four year old niece nos more than them
