Care Guide
Tank setup: Crayfish need plenty of hiding places like caves or pipes and a tight-fitting lid, since they climb out. Avoid copper-based medications.
Feeding: Feed sinking pellets once a day. They also eat vegetables and leftover food.
Tankmates: Crayfish will catch and eat slow fish, shrimp and snails. They are best kept alone.
Molting: Crayfish shed their shell to grow. Leave the old shell in the tank; they eat it to regain calcium.
Good to know: These "lobsters" are actually a color form of the red swamp crayfish.
