And, unless every inch of your aquarium top is covered, they will climb out of the tank. I used to find them all over my living room. they would be dead by the time I found them. I had an HOB filter they would climb inside of too. They can climb up a plant, airline tubing, just about anything.

Plus they are really brackish and unless the water is super hard wont live all that long.

There are numerous freshwater crabs as well.
