Salt or freshwater? Crabs are normally saltwater, might be a few freshies out there somewhere.

As for recommendations, well whatever you like. If you want a variety, then make sure you get community fish. Aggressive ones will be a pain in a community tank. You should make sure to get at least one algae eater(I prefer the plecostomus) and the rest is all up to you.

Guppy is a hardy fish which you should consider with. It is a tropical fish, livebear. Male is more colorful than female. If you dont want to get any fry (baby) just get few male. Because guppy breed like rabbit.

Good Luck

First you need to know (not trying to be mean). Fish is plural for Fish. You can have many fish.. Get it?

You need to get the PH balance and temp of your tank perfect for at least a month. You want to find fish that are compatable. I would go to a good aquarium pet store and talk to one of the employees. They will be able to help you.

Buy small carps and catfish are very strong and mennows. Suckers fish, and small crads are Ok but not the big ones.

If this is the first time you have set up your aquarium then you need to buy a few cheap fish because they are gonna die for a while. An aquarium needs to set up a biological filter in itself. This is done by bacteria from the pollutants of the fish. Once the fish are able to live for a couple of weeks you can spend more money on more exotic fish. After the biological filter is established all you need to do is change about 40% of the water each week and add alittle aquarium salt. Doing this will eliminate having to add chemicals to your water. Good luck!

If your tank hasn't cycled yet you may want to hold off on getting your fish until it does. To do a fishless cycle (so you don't end up killing your investment) I would recommend doing the following.
