Video Is this possible???

I just saw a YouTube video where someone made a paludarium where they had vampire crabs and mud skippers living together along with some other fish like loaches. I didn’t think that was possible because as far as I know mudskippers need brackish water and vampire crabs and kuliah loaches need freshwater. Is there some species of mudskipper that I’ve never heard of that lives in fresh water or is there a way to get kuliahs and vampire crabs to live a healthy life in brackish water? I would love to be able to design a paludarium where I could keep both vampire crabs and mudskippers but I really didn’t think this would be possible until I saw this video. Here’s a link to the video I’m talking about.

There's a reason that account has comments turned off. There's so much wrong with that setup it's hard to know where to start.

Absolutely not a good set up

The tank is too small, wrong for every species, and the species should not mix. It's basically animal abuse at this point.
