Metallic blue,platinum White and super orange for sale soon.. Do check it out..

Got guide for this crayfish about the set up and everything? i see people dont put pump or anything o,o!

If is not necessary to install a pump.. But u must change water frequently.. As they eat and shit a lot..

Hey guys, i wonder is it ok to not have any water filter and oxygen pump.
Will the crayfish survive in a closed top aquarium?

can this crayfish be sold to chinese restaurant ? thinking of rearing it in bulk and sold for chinese restaurant / hotel hehehe

It is possible but the price is very very low..

and u needa get it to be a huge size first..a lot of investment in tat.

Depends on the first few days. Usually wild catch are a lot healthier..as in they are used to the cooler and faster moving water as well as richly oxygenated surrounding. So unless u can try to simulate close/exact environment, else they wouldnt last long.

So long they could last 1 week in ur tank, then it's good to go...else within first 1-2 days they will go off d. All the best bro!

tq

No worries bro.. but the ones i caught were from a stream up in the hills..so i suspect they are used to clean fast flowing water with high level of oxygen..so when i put inside aquarium...they kaput the next day...all 6 of them..haiz.....

feel sorry for u

hi, do anyone here keep dwarf crayfish?

yes, mexican orange dwarf crayfish aka CPO, from 5 tails down to one, they are not as hardy as to normal white and red crayfish, I put her with some cherry, she didn't even try eat them.

how big can it get? plan to get one.

Internet said Max Size 2" , my CPO is <1" when brought.

hey there crayfish peeps!

i just started out this as a hobby and also to make my tank pretty
to all sifus out there, i salute you

this is my tank of 30cm (L) x 22cm (H) x 20cm (W)
consisting of some plants and my family of marimos
used ADA amazonian soil and 4w submersible filter



then my older sister decided to colour my tank with an orange reddish 2inch dwarf crayfish, which i named Ebi



a very shy Ebi



a close up picture of him/her ( i have not been successful in sexing my little Ebi, yet)



just a week ago, i thought it was suffocating at the bottom of the tank, wriggling around...
turns out, to my relief, it was molting
then it buffet on its own shell and retreat back to its driftwood home



now Ebi is doing fine and i am deciding to get it a new partner to make some mini Ebis
thing is, i do not know how to sex it and it is very difficult for me to catch it
so maybe i just get a female to be on the safe side
or any word of advice?

furthermore, Ebi has this huge appetite and it has started eating my water plants even though i have fed it twice a day
lucky me, Ebi does not munch on my marimo family...

beautiful set up there..too bad i dunno much about crayfish and wouldn;t be able to advise much..so just throw in some praises on the beautiful set up..
