What is your PH level? My PH level is a slight bit below 8
What is your salt to water mixture? I have about 4-5 gallons of water & about 2 tablespoons of salt

I kept Red Claw Crabs. My PH was around 8. My salinity was 1.004. Here is a page I made on them.

elgecko's info is good, and applies equally to Fiddlers - except that they are even more demanding of personal space (especially the males) and access to the air.

Also i would like to add that crabs can and sometimes will catch and eat fish live. When i had RRC in my tank, i belive i lost 3 guppies..

Both fiddlers and red claw crabs are brackish.
We got a trio of fiddlers about a month ago, ph is 7.5.
So far all three have molted once, didn't think they would get that big after one molt.
