Fiddler crabs are not freshwater animals. They need a brackish tank (which will kill your other fish, except the mollies), and a decent sized land area.
Without that they'll just slowly die.
Also to the post above, if you are adding an angel in the tank thats three times bigger than you have now, there's a decent chance it will kill the smaller one. Its possible they'll be fine, but keep an eye on it.

Ok well I bought some fish..
I wasn't planning on it though. So we were looking at koi pumps and well, they had about ten female bettas. They NEVER have females, and I couldn't pass by the chance. So I was going to only get one because my mom didn't really want to get one, but I begged her into letting me get two since I couldn't pick between them. One is white with red and purple fins and one is green and blue, just like Cosmo. The red is named Stardust, and the blue Spark. I know there suppose to be in groups but I cant get more for awhile. There living with Ash now, but there kinda fighting so I might have to separate them. That making the count of bettas five <3 I want them to be in a sorority but right now with no empty ten gallon I'll have to wait.

Usually you can take a fish you bought back to the store and get store credit for something else. Just explain the situation to a nice clerk.

Either buy another tank or return the fiddler crab ^-^ How big is the tank?

I walked up to Vincent's tank a few moments ago with my phone out and he got all excited and started to pose and flare. >.<
I got a pretty good side pic of him with his fins all spread out like the little manly man he is but I cant get it to my computer. ^^
I sent that pic to some friends saying "Vincent the sexy betta says hi. You really cant see it, but he's showing off like a little manly man. >.<"
Most of the replies pointed out my weirdness. ^^;
