Can I keep a crab in a 60L Dennerle Nano Cube?
I'm getting a 60L Nano Cube soon and have always wanted to keep crabs in a freshwater aquarium.
I'm just wondering if the aquarium is big enough for a crab, since as far as I know some species can grow larger.
Thank you in advance

No, that's not possible because most crabs, besides the water, also need a land part and for that, the base area of a cube is too small. Because the exit from the water to the land must be very flat – this already requires some space.
But aren't there any crabs that only live in the water?
Probably you mean clean cancers – CPO? You could actually keep them in such a cube because they are very small and live as cancers only in the water.
But with that, a high cube would be quite empty.
Then you just have to inform yourself well, because the CPO can't be kept with all the fish – and in such a cube fit very few species.
True, if this with a CPO is going to get some fish
Microcrabs remain small and can always live in the aquarium without a part of the country. CPO's also go, but these are cancers and not crabs
Both species should be kept in groups. With the CPO's you can still take small fish that prefer the upper water region. I would say Endlerguppies or something
