Procambarus Clarkii with Cherax quadricarinatus

[ownu4free]

I read online stating that it is strongly recommended not to mix crays as it might lead to diseases. Can i mix Procambarus Clarkii with Cherax quadricarinatus? or same tank with divider. TYVM

Anyone tried procambarus clarkii with red claw together before? not breeding, just sharing tank

Would love to find out if anyone tried this arrangement and what are the outcomes?

Last I checked someone on the forum mentioned that P. Clarkii might carry diseases that are harmful for Cherax quadricarinatus.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread.

I mixed them before in the same tank.. end up I have to remove the Cherax quadricarinatus because it was too aggressive towards the other Procambarus Clarkii.

As for for the divider question: if you got them both when they were young and disease-free, that shouldn't be an issue?

Thanks for sharing your experiences! I will try to house 1 Cherax quadricarinatus and Procambarus Clarkii together first to see how it goes. Before I put all of them together in the pond.
