So today I got the final fish to finish my 55 gallon tank( all I need is a school of bottom feeders)
I got a red wag platy to make company to my other red platy, now the two are always together
I also got two more platys, not sure what type, but they have two black lines on their tails and they are yellow, also got two lire tail Molly's, one is yellow and the other one is a bit pale, almost white
And my two prized ones, two fiddler crabs, very happy to have them, I would like for all my bottom feeders to be crabs, with 5 red clawed crabs and 5 fiddlers, I only have two if each kind now
Also added two mystery snails, one gold, one blue, hope to add another black one and another gold one
What do you guys think?
Thanks :)

Yes they do, here it is, they really like it because it is right in front if the current
Here are the two, and the area where they climb to get some air, and if you can see in the right hand corner of the last pic, that's a red clawed crab

Nice! I've always wanted to try fiddler and red clawed crabs too but just don't have the space for a brackish tank. Maybe sometime in the future!
 
Ah I thought fiddler crabs and red claw crabs need some salt?
 
Quick google research suggests they are often incorrectly sold as freshwater pets but in fact need brackish conditions.
 
:( really, bummer! Well, good thing I am planning a 20 gallon long brackish build, so I'll probably add the crabs in there thanks!
