Red Crab Questions

[Callidus]

Hi all,

I have a 20G tank with 2 Ceylon puffers of around 1 1/2" to 2" in BW environment. My simple questions are, would it be to much to introduce 2 red crabs and the LFS advertises them as Red Crabs nothing else, are these brackish or FW. My tank currently stand at 1.008.

If not then what would be the ideal setting for 2 Red Crabs?

The ideal settings for crabs, I do not know, but I do know that pufferfish are not included among those...the puffers will eat the crabs or vice versa.

I should have worked that out, After all they are crustaceans and puffers like to crunch on things

Anybody else have anymore info? Ideal tank size and setup.

I understand they require brething area's.

Hey, I do what I can.

Here's hoping that someone else who has kept crabs has answers for you!

My Ceylon is almost 4" now. I'm sure she would love to have a crab over for dinner...YUM!!!
