General Care Discussion :: Crabs and turtles

[Rockyturtle]

Has anyone tried to keep fiddler or red crabs with their turtles? I was thinking of getting one or two to help keep the tank Clem, but I was wondering if rocky will eat them. I have some guppy fry he has not eaten (can't catch them) but not sure about crabs. Any suggestions appreciated.

Been wondering the same. The majority vote is that if it moves its food, dont expect them to be around for long.

a turtle would destroy a crab eventually - sooner rather than later

fiddler crabs need brackish water and shallow water. they have a completely different environment then a turtle. they can't survive in the same tank
