I have a 56 gallon tropical fish aquarium which houses a couple angel fish, a bala shark, a rainbow shark, a pleco, and a fiddler crab. My crab takes algae wafers from my fingers!

Hey, he hasn't pinched you yet has he?

Beware if he does, and make sure he doesn't pinch you in between your fingers!!!

Does she have a personality? Sort of like a mammal-type pet?

She's entertaining for sure. She only shows herself every few days for a wafer, fights my pleco for it. Sometimes I find her on top of the tank. The rest of the time she hides in the decor.

Fiddler crabs need to be in a terranium so they can be out of the water too, or they will continually try to escape to find dry land.
