im not too sure to be honest but if they dont, it wont be hard to just vacuum the shells up, that is if they dont float

You may honestly have a better time with the betta, just because they are freshwater, and fiddlers are brackish. I'm totally new to the marine salts and I've had to throw out so much water because I mixed it wrong. :(

Whoops !!
I also keep snails in my tanks, they are fun to watch and they help cleaning algae too, my favourite ones though are mystery snails. They are gorgeous and they don't breed unless you have a male and a female. Have a look at those, I'm sure you'll love them. :)

Name it Gary
Algae is common in new tanks! It's just caused from excess nutrients in the water/ to much lighting. Get yourself a nerite snail and it'll help out a ton cleaning up for you. Most bettas are fine with nerites. You can do it, we believe in you! :D
You can always join the fish group I admin in and we can help you out!! It's For Fish Sake.
21 tanks and been keeping fish 26 years. Bred bettas for a long time, and now have only 14 lol
Keep in mind, new tanks get brown "algae", which are diatoms. It happens in newly set up tanks and lasts a month or two. Regardless what you put in there, you'll get the diatoms/algae.
But be aware, you will have to kill hundreds of snails as those snails will reproduce like crazy. Make sure to vacuum the substrate all the time, snails produce a TON of waste, and you can't have too many in a tank, produce ammonia which will kill them.
Gary is full size now and will produce hundreds every few days.
That is NOT a Ramshorn snail. He is full grown and they stay sideways like that. Just a little pest snail. Not a Ramshorn. Ramshorns keep their shell straight up. I forget the name of this kind, used to have some that came in with an order of some Mystery snails some time back. He will not get any bigger than that.
Don't get discouraged, it can be overwhelming at first. You may need to do more research on crabs if you're going that route, most "freshwater" end up needing brackish.
You CAN'T buy plants in my city that are not kept in community tanks with snails.
And i havent been able to find anywhere that will ship untainted plants to canada :(
I think you should start over and get the betta once you're ready. When you introduce any other live fish/snails/plants to the tank, do proper quarantining/dipping to prevent any problems!
I think you will be a great betta parent and will love their personality to death. You just might not be ready right at this moment.
As for a snail name suggestion, how about Stuart? Just because Gary and Stuart sounds cute.. and also the snail is so little, so like, Stuart Little (then you'd have Biggie Smalls and Stuart Little and they could become a comedy duo wow)
Future reference, whenever you bring in new plants, drift wood, decor, etc, it's good to do a 1:20 part bleach dip for 30 seconds. It kills parasites which can kill your fish. Also, with any introduction of living things, you should always do a quarantine period.
(He's a baby)
If you wanted to, you could still get a Betta and put it in the snail's new tank with them!
Also, once the plants are established, the algae should get a bit more under control, as the plants will be sucking in nutrients instead of the algae. If that doesn't work, you might just have too many phosphates in you water. Keep in mind that your tank will most likely always have some algae!
If you put in a fish, it will eat those white worms!
I respect your decision to get fiddler crabs, and although I was kinda looking forward to a Betta, I would love to see how you take care of your crab! Good luck, whatever you end up doing!! ❤️
I love your channel and your are thankful for everything Thant why I look forward to your videos
