red clawed crab

I'm not sure if this is the right location to post about a red clawed crab, but here's my question...

I think these guys are so cute and would like one, but can you put them in a community tank or do they have to only be with other crabs?

they eat fish for dinner. and they are brackish crabs. so in short, no, they can't be housed in a regular aquarium. they fair best when kept in species only aquariums.

P.S. this post should have been in the inverts section.
