red eared sliders

think 1 of these would be good with a 6-8 inch freshwater crab? also... will be a terrairum (dont know how to spell it), so the crab can go in and out... or would the crab be good by itself?

I don't see anything good coming out of housing a crab with a turtle. If they didn't try to tear each other apart, the large amount of turtle waste would still ruin the crab's whole day.

Aside what OldSalt said... res will need quite some space there... So I dont really think thats possible. So just stck with the crabs.

The turtle will definitely eat the crab

If the turtle and crab are the same size, and the tank is quite large then I don't see why not. Although you need to regually monitor the water conditions as crabs are a lot less tolerant to ammonia/nitrite build up than turtles. Actually the turtle couldn't really give a toss.

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
