watermelon crab
I want to get few of them. There is very little info, and most sites say they are fresh water/terrestrial, however, there is some info that they are actually brackish. Do you know anything about them?

Re: watermelon crab
They are fiddlers, and to my knowledge all fiddlers come from brackish or marine environments. I would definitely offer brackish tbh.

Re: watermelon crab
It is more important they have areas for emergence than the exact level of salt in the water. I have had better luck over multiple years keeping commonly available fiddlers in fresh than brackish but since this is my first time with these mine are in brackish. Unfortunately it doesn't seem possible to get females.
