    If your crayfish is about to molt, it will stop eating for a while. That's normal. Observe for a few days.

    Not molting. i have lower the height of the water so that they can 'stand' to keep their head above the water level and i feed it with floating fish food they seems to be eating but not sinking pallets. Maybe is my base problem.

    They find food by smelling with their "whiskers", you can try hikari crab cuisine. The strong smell will make them pick around looking for the food

    Demoon is correct. Mine never need to see, most times they can pick smallest of pellets. And I keep mine fully underwater...

    Cherax quadricarinatus. Your crayfish look like they are about to mate in the photo.

    Check whether there are 2 dots on the third pair of walking leg (count from the back). If yes, it is a female.

    Definitely you can, but your tank must be big enough, and there should be at least one hiding place per crayfish.
