I woke up today and decided I wanted to buy a crab or 2 for my 10 gal freshwater tank. I'd like a crab that can stay underwater all the time or swim up if it needs to. If there are any crabs that will clean things up a bit, that would be nice. Crabs that aren't aggressive would be best.
I wanna buy a crab...

get yourself some red clawed crabs. they stay small (about 1-2" around) and under water all the time. just make sure you have a nice hideout for them..mine are kinda shy but they help keep the tank lookin great.. btw there are others that would fit the bill but i cant remember them. just do a search for freashwater crabs..
I looked around the web for info and those guys seem to be the most likely candidate assuming I can find some around here. My LFS may have some but if not I saw some crabs at Petsmart but I don't recall what kind they were (being new to fish , I hadn't seen Persmart much in general, I was impressed by thier selection. They had knifefish for a limited time. Conditions were awful though) so I'll see what I can get. Anyone have any advice on keeping crabs?
