Gold Fiddler Crab Tank

[nderouch]

So I have a Fiddler Crab in my tank and was told that I should take it out because they like/need to be able to get out of the water at times.

I am thinking of getting a 10g tank and setting up a little crab home for him.

I am thinking fill the water about 3/4 of the tank and have a raised area when they (I plan on getting a male to go with my female) can get out of the water to hang out.

Are there any fish I can put in the tank with the crabs?

With a 10g, you're better off making it a dedicated crab tank, with sandbed and all.

ok. how many crabs can i put in the tank? how much water? how much sand?

i have limited experience with fiddlers - however, i do know it's best not to keep more than one male in a tank, and they like to spend most of their time out of the water, so i'd recommend a 50/50 layout at the most. they'd probably be more comfortable with 60/40 or better. water should not be purely fresh - it needs to be brackish.
