Title: Orange or white crayfish?
Post by: Sean on June 20, 2013, 03:22:23 PM

Does anybody have any experience with either of these?

I've had a couple of the Blues, but they've always escaped & died out of tank.

So, I'd recommend a fully  covered tank

You need a 20 long by itself or feeder fish. I would not trust any lobster or crayfish with my nicer fish.

Also, only one or a pair, or you will just have one.  Max size is up to 6" depending on species.

Smaller crayfish include dwarf cajun or cpo crayfish (mexican dwarf) but both are aggressive to any fish they can catch as well as to each other.

Yeah, it will definitely be in a tank on its own. The ones i found are pretty small so I will feed him shrimp pellets for now. He will be in a fully covered tank for sure. I think I'll try them for now and see how they do.
