fresh water fiddler crabs?

Question

does any one know of any fresh water fiddler crabs the ones they sell at pet smart are called mini fiddler crabs and my friend has two of those and they have lasted for over the average 3 years I want to know because I might want 1 and any information you can give me on this particular species

Answer 1

The fiddler crabs found in pet stores are most likely semi-terrestrial brackish crabs, which means they need some salt in their water as well as access to air and dry land.

Unfortunately, many pet stores keep fiddlers in a freshwater aquatic set up, and recommend the same to new owners. They may do fine in a fresh water and fully aquatic set up for weeks, but will eventually become weak and die. If possible, find a store that keeps them in brackish water, or wait for a new shipment so their time spent in fresh water is minimal.

Answer 2

I had one once, and it climbed out of the tank, and dried out and died! Keep a tight hood, and no high plants for it to climb on.

Answer 3

Um... didn't you already ask two of these questions already? And didn't people give you information?

Try googling on your own if you don't want to listen to what people have shared with you.
