Food Market Blue Crabs | Care Help

[Loganfish]

Hello. I bought three Blue Crabs from an Asian Food Market. I was planning on putting one in my 37 Gallon Saltwater Tank, one in my 55 Gallon Freshwater Tank, and the third tbd. However I heard they are very aggressive. Is there a way I can avoid aggression?

BUMP!

No; just eat em, honestly. They taste good, but aren't very good pets. Bit of Old Bay or Zatarains and garlic butter does wonders for the flavour.
It'll probably die after a short while in freshwater, and 37 gallons seems much too small for a keeper male blue crab, especially if you intend on keeping anything else with it that isn't food. The small space is most definitely going to aggravate the crab and cause it to be even more aggressive and defensive than it would be in, say, a 600gal tank.
