This makes me miss my crayfish.... he was very social towards me and even gently and carefull took out his treats from my fingers, and the climped on my hand so I can "play" with him by pulling him half way out of the water and back again. (when he had enough he simply jumped off) I have a new one but she is super shy I named her Houdini cause she dissapears by digigng herself into spaces that I didn't knew even excist in the tank XD I only use for plants waterweed because it grows pretty fast and when it got cut off you can simply stick it back again. Anubias are also a good pick because of the hard leafs.

I can catch crayfish just a few feet from my house. They generally tend to be around 5-6 inches long though so too big for a normal community tank. I was thinking about setting up a tank for some Amano shrimp but I may check out some of those CPO dwarf crayfish instead.

My son brought home a wild river crayfish yesterday. about 2 inch long, ever so tiny but very quick. He got a tank straight away, his own river water, a cave, a branch and few stones. Was not interested in a prawn but I get they eat when they want. I'm going to leave the tank in a garden, where the natural light, temperature and even rain will help to keep natural environment. Because the river is more like a stream really, I only gave them maybe 5 inches of water above so probabbly won't need an aeratore. His name is Sven :D

i have had many crayfish, not much luck with them though. 2 of mine died for an unknow reason, 1 died because he had internal parasites and i had no clue, my 4th one passed because he got stuck in a molt which was odd because my parameters are damn near perfect and he got plenty of minerals and other yummy food. im going to assume that since he had internal parasites from a petco ghost shrimp he ate that it took a toll on his energy even after being treated. i've had the procambarus clarkii species. im thinking of getting a cherax species just to change it up. it still a bummer i paid 50 bucks for a ghost variant of procambarus clarkii and he passed due to a failed molt

Im glad you asked! I've taken care of signal more than any other crayfish. Signal crayfish grow very large if kept healthy and in a large enough tank (upwards of 8 inches if i remember correctly) so you will need to be very careful will what fish you put in there if any! They crayfish will also need a decently large tank depending on how long you are planing on keeping it for.

Would you have a planted tank or non-planted? driftwood or rock/plastic caves? I'm guessing with a 45 gallon bow, he would be better as a solo crayfish. What friends would be best to go with him? We do have one red tailed shark we'd like to put in and add other fish. Thank you SO much in advance for your help. I really want to make this successful.

Question, I have a 20 gallon tank that has plants and a filter in it and I bought one red Louisiana crawfish from a grocery store. He's been in the tank for two days and is doing ok, but spends most of his time hiding and hasn't eaten anything yet. I suspect he's just getting used to his new environment and is exhausted. He was placed in a large basket with a bunch of other Crawfish and was hosed off every few hours at the grocery store. The fish guy at the grocery store said those crayfish had been in the store (in a basket) for 5 days and who knows how long prior to reaching the store. I think he is just tired and needs to rest in his new environment. He wasn't super weak when I got him, he still tried to fight the tongs and acted alert so I don't think he's doomed. I remember the ones I caught back home and kept as pets would eat the first night I had them, but they also weren't left in a basket with 100s of other Crawfish for days and days. Any ideas about how long I'll have to wait for him to become active again or things I can do to help him?

Atomic QBomb, I have never even CONSIDERED owning a Crawdad (I love & study BIRDS), but since parts of our apt bldg caught on fire 8 weeks ago, they'd had all of us evacuate, & put us into different hotels til they get it all fixed up. The one I'm stayin at is digging up rocks & dirt in this stream next door, & one crawdad either was tryin to get away from that, OR possibly "escaped" from one of the nearby restaurants, & crawled to our hotel, & scared one of our maids when she saw it outside, so the front desk clerk got it, then saw me & asked me if I wanted it. I am TOTALLY NEW to caring for critters like this, plus don't currently have extra money to the petstore & splurge on a buncha new items... but I felt sorry for the little (about 4"-5" long, maybe), so I took it, & put it in a spare plastic basin w/water (had originally got the $1 basin to wash dishes in, but bought a larger one for dishes, so this is the new Crawdad's tub, now. I put a couple man's-fist-sized rocks in the basin/tub, plus a ceramic coffee cup on it's side (best I could think of for a "hiding place" for it. Hmm, what with "Crawdad", & "HidingPlace", I think I'll name this Crawdad, "Corrie", for Corrie Ten Boome! "Corrie the Crawdad" will be it's name!). And, all I had was mealworms & red-crawler worms (for the birds outside), & a cam of white chicken meat. I put both a mealworm & a red-worm into the water w/Corrie, & some of (just a couple Tablespoons worth) of the dirt that was with the live red-worms, into the water. She(?) didn't seem interested in eating, but I then started lookin up all I can on how to care for her. Some articles say (but don't show exactly how) that they need a way to crawl OUT of the water, for alternate oxygen. How FAR out of the water?? ALL the way, or just stickin it's head out of the water?? Please share whatever'd be most helpful for this little tyke's care, under these circumstances! Thanks so much!

My comment is a bit late to the party but I’ll try anyway! I was looking into getting a pet crayfish, and once I move out and get a bigger tank for my ryukin I am left with a 60 litre tank. That’s why I was wondering if it is okay to keep a crayfish in a 60 litre tank (thats about 15,85 gallons) I saw online that a Mexican dwarf crayfish are good to go, however I’d like for it to thrive rather then just survive so I was wondering if the tank is big enough (I won’t be planning on getting tank mates then)

Nice video! How do you think a Betta would fair with a Crayfish in a 40 Gallon tank?
@AtomicQBomb
@AtomicQBomb 3 жыл бұрын
that betta would unfortunately get shredded apart... crayfish do not work well with long finned fish, and bettas are notoriously slow and have very long fins!!! Maybe try a gourami instead?

I recently bought 3 neon red crayfish. Im really confused about the water level. Some sources say it's better for the crayfish to be able to climb above the surface. Others say you dont need to. I have an oxygenator. Should i still go forward with the half land/half water set up?

Is it dangerous to get crawfish from local ponds and stuff? I was always told they could have parasites.
@AtomicQBomb
@AtomicQBomb 3 жыл бұрын
They can, but it’s fine so long as they won’t be with other crayfish. If you’re planning on eating them, then yes parasites could be dangerous. I’m not sure, but I heard boiling them will kill every parasite.

Thank u for the uselfull infos in this video. I have a 500 lt aquarium that i would like to house for some crayfish. I have some questions and many doubts. How many crayfishes can i put in 500lt ? Are they going to live with a Caridina Shrimp colony? I have aswell a big kissing gurami that I would like to add in this aquarium. I think is not a problem.. I dont think guramis and crayfishes can kill eachother..but.... is it dangerous for the gourami when he is sleeping lying on the substrate?

500 litres hmm… you would probably be okay with shrimp and crayfish, make sure to look up the water parameters to ensure they work together. As for the gourami, it might be fine for a while, but I believe they will probably be killed by one of the crayfish. Best of luck!!

@@domeah oh 4 would be just fine, the only thing you need to worry about for amount of crayfish is the area at the bottom of the tank, but in a 500 litre there should be more than enough space for 4. Make sure to put plenty of hiding spaces!

@AtomicQBomb

I wouldn't recommend it, BUT if you are very careful and you research the dangers that dust poses to crayfish, you might be able to. If you do, you should put it on a dry towel next to a shower that is running (NOT IN THE SHOWER!) so that the steam from the shower will remove dust from the air and help keep the crayfish calm. You can gently touch the crayfish, but be very careful not to touch it too much or too roughly. A good way to keep it happy is to feed it while it is walking around the towel.

All of mine are wild white river crawdads I been wanting to keep them for a good while now for bait breeding and kinda have a little experience with it but normally I don't keep them long but it's been years since I had any and back then wasn't into breeding just wanted to keep them for a few weeks But I caught a 7 inch white river on a bluegill tail and figured I'd use her to start my breeding tank And since I have them in a blue tank I'm hoping I'll have some start turning blue but I plan on getting black kongs at some point so I can breed my big white river (Larry(SpongeBob reference)) with them bc she has really vibrant red pinchers that she tries to use on me a lot and has cut me open with them but along with the red she has a dark brown body with red in her tail joints So maybe a black kong with her will have a black body and red pinchers

Yes! The shells NEED to stay there! Your crayfish will eat its old shell to regain the nutrients.
