Crabs are territorial and may fight with each other if space is limited.
Best kept in species-only tanks or with larger, fast-moving fish.
They require land access (semi-aquatic setup) for some species like fiddler crabs.
Known as excellent scavengers but can also nip at slow fish or shrimp.
Crabs are fascinating, intelligent, and highly active invertebrates that add a unique touch to aquariums. Unlike fish, crabs are semi-aquatic or aquatic creatures with strong claws and hard shells (exoskeletons). They are scavengers, eating leftover food, algae, and detritus, helping to keep tanks cleaner.
