First, Dorian, this is why most people dont listen to people from petshops. Bettas do just fine with other fish.



Fiddlers will always attempt to catch the fish that are in the tank with them. If any of them swim near the bottom for too long, the crab will catch and eat it. I wouldnt add a crab in the tank with the fish you havelisted, especially the dwarf frog (african), cory cat, sucker fish, ghost shrimp, or the snails. Anything that lives on the bottom is in danger with them. The sucker fish might be ok, because it should be much larger, but the fiddler gets large enough to eat the others.



But, fiddlers need a tank that has like half land. Also, the brackish water is what they do best in, and that would kill just about every fish that you have. So a fiddler probably isnt for you judging your tanks. And a 6 inch by 2 inch is just wrong. Throw that sucker away.

Fiddler crabs Will Not Get Along With Guppies Or Dwarf Frog Or Betta Fish. Also, The Betta Fish Is Not Supposed To Be With Any Fish It Is Meant To Be Alone. bye.

*sigh* "How vast of a tank do i choose for one fitler crab?" 10 gallon "What different animals am i able to place with a crab?" None. "Do crabs like being the only crab in the tank?" sure, yet in a 10 gallon you may desire to maintain as much as a million male and 2 ladies. do basically no longer shop numerous men at the same time. "am i able to place fiddler crabs with different agressive fish?" No. "something which will help?" As you have pronounced, make confident they're being stored in brackish water. they choose heated, filtered water with approximately 2 tablespoons of marine salt according to gallon of water. they ought to have get entry to to dry land. those are scavenging creatures and could consume rather plenty something. Feed a form of sinking pellets, supplement with frozen food, and perhaps provide the occasional feeder guppy as a manage.
