r/Crayfish

Someone is selling me blue Mexican dwarf crayfish, and I never heard of such thing. Can someone help know what to expect them to look like or their color should look like? Coz clearly they're not very blue👀

where did my little pumpkin go😭🩷
last picture are her claws from her first & second molt🥹

the boy molted a couple of days ago so he got a delectable brine shrimp cube

I found out i infact have a female and male mexican dwarf crawfish ! i walked in on them getting freaky and yeah, just not sure if i should separate them or not, any advice ?

meet my baby crawfish .. theres about 40 of them. they’re all exotic patterns // colors, orange x white, brown x orange, créme, pink ish? the list goes on and on! meet our basic brown baby, with orange dipped claws, “tacobell”

id like everyone to meet madam dorito my dwarf cray :] she gets more plants tomorrow 🌱

Title is self explanatory. I got my boi Scallywag on Friday, he’s been using all day today. Yesterday he started wandering around in the evening and he did eat (he ate an algae bug wafer, send a pic after this. As well as a slice of cucumber) idk if maybe he’s just tired or something but he’s been hiding all day and didn’t eat the wafer I got him for breakfast. Usually he’s a good eater, or he was when I was at work. I work tomorrow so I’m gonna bring in a water test to make sure it’s not the water. Should I be worried about the lack of activity? He isn’t dead at least. He is moving around a little. I bought a heater but haven’t plugged it in since it says his water is at 74° Fahrenheit

Update: he finally came out! I’ll send the picture in the comments!

I have had her for about 6 months now

Caught this little feller in Virginia and I’m curious what type of crayfish he is? (Don’t worry I put him right back in the water after this photo)

Ok, so I've been slightly over feeding my beast of a crayfish so she wouldn't get hungry and destroy the tank mates. I figured I could get a Cory to clean up the extra food she doesn't eat. But, the cory is an absolute freaking PIG, and eats 80% of the crab pellets I throw down for the cray. I've seen the cray in more of a hunting stance, and I can only guess she's still hungry.

I don't want to keep over feeding as the tank water balance and algae will go nuts.

Any suggestions?

Meet Scallywag!!! After two long weeks he has come home! (Well, minus one day but that should be fine)

Bought what I was expecting to be a blue cray from the lfs. But nature decided it was time for a change as soon as it molted. I like it though so not a disappointment really.

After 2 months in a 75 gallon, they finally linked up.

my parents are coming home with some crayfish today, and i really want to keep one or two.

Can anyone identify these? We live in northern sweden, if that helps.

what would caring for one look like? i’ll do my own reserach of course. can two of them be kept together?

I have a Florida blue and when I bought some plants from a store apparently they had a baby cray scooped up,I'm assuming they thought it was a shrimp by accident.long story short cut to 4 months later I have this situation

It’s pretty tiny, I think it’s a male but I’m having trouble telling because it’s so small! Bonus points if you know the species, I got it from a creek in Leroy Twp Ohio!

It's a LFS tank.
