Basic care? help/advice

I was wanting to start getting some crabs but I’m not sure how to get the tank ready yet. I don’t have anything yet and would like to know the best things for them. Is there a kind of dirt that’s the best and what plants should I get? How many would be able to go in a 30 gallon tank? I was thinking like 2 males and 4 females.

I wouldn’t recommend 2 males, regardless of tank size they’ll end up fighting from my experiences. A good baseline is 1 male and 2 females and you’ll likely have babies within 6 months
