Will this work well in a 5 gallon tank?

2 red clawed crabs, 1 female betta and 2 or 3 guppiesWill this work well in a 5 gallon tank?
your guppies will eventually get munchedWill this work well in a 5 gallon tank?
Crabs are very mean, as in AGGRESSIVE. Remove the betta as she might kill others or get killed, and move the guppies too. They'll get eaten! Poor babies!
The betta and two guppies would be okay, but no crab. Red Clawed Crabs are brackish and need partially salt water, they also require some land area, not to mention they'll eat your fish as soon as they can catch them.
Yes, guppies will eat bloodworms, but you would be best leaving out the betta and ESPECIALLY the crab. Guppies would do best in a species tank.
it would be okay if the tank was bigger. two crabs would need 10 gallons and then an inch of fish per gallon after that. so if the female betta is 2 inches and the guppies are 3, you will need about 20 gallons of water. *my female betta has been happily living with 4 guppies and 2 corys in a 12 gallon tank.*


yes guppies will eat the bloodworms, and any other sort of live food...most fish will :)
it will work for a week before they all die sure
Maybe.





I don't know about the crabs, but I know that female bettas have quite different temperaments from individual to individual. I have a 20g ';sorority'; tank stocked with 6 female bettas: but in the early stages of the community I had to house some of my girls in their own tanks--they were simply too aggressive to live with other fish: colorful fish such as guppies.





If your female choses to be antagonistic, or if your female betta happens to be nasty, you'll have shredded guppies in about five minutes.





I am also a little bit anxious about the bioload that you're suggesting. If you add the guppies successfully you should change at least half the water once every three days.





Another thing to look out for, particularly if you got your female betta from a big chain petstore, is confirmation that she is actually a she. Short-finned males are sometimes sold as females. Look under her ';belly'; near her front two fins for a little white spot--this is where she lays the eggs from.
the bettas will kill the guppys....guppys have pretty tails and bettas dont like that, they have to be the prettiest thing in the aquarium, so they will bite the guppys tails clean off, and it will make them suffer and die. the crabs should be fine though =)
