crabs and snails

[Blueangel4730]

Ok so I have 3 mystery snails in a 10 g and they have laid eggs all over gravel. From what I understand those eggs wont hatch. I have some fiddler crabs in another tank. Im thinking of throwing a crab or two in to clean up the eggs. Problem is I have 3 guppies in there as well. Any guppy/crab problems I should expect???

I kept wild caught crabs for a little while. They were very aggressive. Nothing was off limits

Crabs are best kept in a species tank. Fish will make a nice snack for them.

Ive had my fiddler crabs for over a year and never a problem. They are with my angel and never an issue

Well then, I guess you answered your own question.

If they have been kept in a tank by themselves then adding them to a tank with other occupants may cause them to become aggressive as they try to establish territory.

They have been in community tank over a year, no issues
