Assorted Crayfish 2-3"

Bring a bold and brilliant flash of color to your aquarium with an Assorted Crayfish 2-3". This product offers a beautiful variety of captive-bred crayfish, each with its own unique charm. Your assortment may include stunning colors like the vibrant Electric Blue, fiery Red, pure White, or the unique Orange Ghost. Each crayfish adds a dynamic and fascinating presence to any freshwater tank, and this 2-3 inch size is perfect for watching them grow into larger, more impressive creatures.

These crayfish are hardy and active bottom-dwellers with a lot of personality. While generally peaceful with fast-moving, top-dwelling fish, they can be aggressive and territorial, especially towards other crayfish and slow-moving or bottom-dwelling tank mates. It's crucial to provide plenty of hiding spots like rocks, caves, and PVC pipe to help them feel secure. Be aware that crayfish are known to eat live plants, so a well-planted tank may not be the best environment.

Diet

For their diet, these Assorted Crayfish are opportunistic omnivores and scavengers. They will happily eat leftover fish food that sinks to the bottom of the tank. To ensure they get all the necessary nutrients and to curb their desire to eat plants, you should provide a varied diet. Feed them high-quality sinking pellets and algae wafers as a staple. You can also supplement their diet with fresh vegetables like blanched zucchini or peas, as well as meaty foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp. A balanced diet will help them maintain their brilliant coloration and overall health.
