Some people say yes and some say no but I have no idea what thes people find to be acceptable. Also some people say that the crabs must be able to get to the surface and others say that the crabs can live their whole lives submerged. Who is right?

Nope. Other than the fact that you'll end up with them eating each other unless your tank is very large, they simply do not have the same water requirements.
Red claw crabs are brackish
Fiddlers are saltwater and need access to land
Crayfish / crawdads are freshwater

NOO! crawdads eat each other and I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem taking part in the other animals! I have a crawdad that ate a hermit crab and 3 other crawdads!!! I would NOT suggest it. Crabs need land to get oxygen but crawdads don't. Crawdads can be completely submerged.

The short answer to this is No.
The long answer is, the smaller your tank the more Territorial they will be. The Red claws will eventually beat all your other crustaceans. If your tank is smaller than a 55, don't even think about it, unless you want to have crab legs for dinner that night.

no they don't decide on land. they gained't sufficate in the journey that they stay underwater finished time, except the water has no aquarium salt in it. (they decide on some salt regardless of the indisputable fact that it really is not difficult to hit upon a gap overlap that suites both crabs and freshwater fish.) i ought to undertaking a chance that they could stay longer/be in good structure in the journey that they have both water and land ideally, yet mine do superb in water. I have 2, a male and woman in a 10 gallon tank with a pair fish. they stay thoroughly underwater for, i ought to say, months at a time. the reason i will't grant you with a unique time body is because i extremely don't understand. at the same time as they decide on to get out of the water, they one way or the different hit upon a way. i have got here upon my crabs magnificent from the heater, clear out, proper rim of the tank and underside of the lid; i have got here upon them status on proper of the exterior of the lid, i have got here upon them contained in the field of the exterior clear out, i have got here upon them on my mattress room floor. they're very resourceful. (i used to panic about it way better than i do. now i purely throw them again in or enable them flow again themselves.) they could climb something you supply them a probability to or perhaps belongings you attempt to save out of their attain. in the journey that they could't climb onto something from floor element (like the heater), they're going to climb any close by tall merchandise contained in the tank and leap off it, scuttling via the water sideways to attain it. at the same time as they could stay thoroughly in water, they could't stay out of water for lengthy classes of time. my first actual crab got here upon his way out of the tank in the course of the evening and my frantic search for contained in the morning couldn't discover him. when I got here residing house, he grow to be on the bottom of the cloth wardrobe on the different part of the room all dried out. they prefer to move slowly sideways alongside the perimeters of issues, so he maximum probably skirted the perimeters of my room and the cloth wardrobe as far as he ought to flow. unfavorable little guy. one better very last note before you get your crab. they're territorial and could seize, tear up and devour small fish, extremely in the journey that they sense that they are underfed.
