Electric Blue Cray Fish 2-3"

Bring a bold and brilliant flash of color to your aquarium with the Electric Blue Crayfish 2-3". This captivating invertebrate is a true showstopper, named for its incredibly vibrant, almost luminous blue coloration. Its unique shape and active, engaging personality make it a fascinating centerpiece for any freshwater tank. This 2-3 inch specimen is a great size to start with and watch as it grows into a larger, more impressive creature.

The Electric Blue Crayfish is a hardy and active bottom-dweller with a lot of personality. While generally peaceful with fast-moving, top-dwelling fish, it 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 it feel secure. Be aware that this crayfish is known to eat live plants, so a well-planted tank may not be the best environment.

Diet

For their diet, Electric Blue 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.
