One Question I have, do you cover your tank? I have had some crayfish before and because I have a air-tube, they use that to escape. So do you cover your tank or have any pipes into the tamk?

No i don't. They are very small about 3cm is my biggest and the only "tube" I have is from the filter. I haven't had them for very long but I've got 1 succesful molt so far and they seem quite happy at the bottom


Thanks for the share.
how much did you get them for? i saw some really small crayfish's when i was at this lfs at plaza sing. is it the same?
hehehe very cute!
but be careful! they will hunt your shrimps and any fish you have in the tank during light's out! your tank should have a lot of hiding places.. but fish will definitely get whack by this guy! looks cute.. but very fierce! hehe
Looks nice, what temperature do you keep them at?




I have one of this for a while. Quite fun as when you feed it, it will come with its claws pointing towards you. Then, one day.... disappeared!
Found it a few days later under the sofa... became "haebi"
So, please do cover.




Must cover! These crays are commandos and will use any chance to escape from the tank. If you think they can't do it, you will find them missing and dead a few days later. When i was keeping them, 1 cray always ended up in my toilet. Most likely is crawl up the air tube and then 6-7 metres to the toilet. When i saw it, it was quite shag and beginning to dry up. Throw it back into the tank and cover the holes.
If you are free and have transport, can go to upper pierce reservoir to catch the blue fresh water crays. They can be found among the rocks near the shore.
These crays are super hardy. Can survive at room temperature, super dirty water and can take water fresh from the tap. No need to add anti-chlorine. Haha.
