Im getting a new 20g and i dont kno wut to stock it with but i kno i want as many fish as possible and cAn i have a fiddler crab with fish and dwarf frogs?
 
I don't know anything about the frogs, but I've been wanting to get some fiddler crabs so I've been doing a lot of reading. They really should be in brackish water, and need access to land. But they do get along with fish, from what I've read.
 
I would suggest you do a lot of reading up on fiddler crabs and see exactly what they require for habitat. They are not fully aquatic as some stores would lead you to believe.
 
I would probably stay away from the crabs. when I started my 20g I felt the same way and I got a red claw. He lasted for about 3 months, but after reading he needed brackish water and access to land I just felt really bad about keeping him. Honestly I would look into shrimp if your keeping a peaceful tank. Honestly just as cool and will fit right in.
