bump for the thread, I seek the info about crayfish as my housemate keep this tiny creatures as pet... quite entertaining... I do some research about crayfish. They will eat the small fish if we put them together, later my housemate buy small species of fish (as food), but the crayfish didn't manage to catch them.. the fish swim quite fast... now the fish as decoration for the tank, swim here and there very active... how to know that myhousemate crayfish is healthy, enough supply of oxygen, comfortable with the water environment.. etc ?

Me too.. he just died... he cant survive... Crayfish is an escape artist... you must secure your tank so they does not escape... as for me.. they do try once via filter tube inlet but failed, then never bother to escape from my tank...

QUOTE(arrow @ Jan 17 2015, 03:00 PM) provide some calcium rich food for them and if water ph low , put in some coral stone. some delicate mini crayfish like CPO and texanus require cooler water temperature like 27-28c. care to share calcium rich food... at this moment I feed them shrimp pallet and boiled zucchini... |

QUOTE(shamn9 @ Jan 28 2015, 01:56 PM) If want fast breeding, you should try redclaw or perhaps marmorkreb. Red swamp, zebra, bright orange, snow white..less active. I see... what species of your crayfish that berries? |

Too greedy I must say, haha well, my planted tank is now kindda crowded, a new tank is definitely. Thinking of a dedicate dwarf crayfish tank after CNY.
