r/Crayfish

Check out my new Crayfish. What type is it? Can you guess?

Great community glad I joined.

I have a 10 gallon tank currently stocked with a dwarf crayfish, 4 celestial danios, and possibly two amano shrimp? (they disappeared, i cant find even a trace of them 😔 im hoping they show up again like they did in my 20 gal)

anyways, I'm going to my lfs later. I know I wanna get a couple more cpds to make them more comfy, but I was also thinking of adding clown killis to occupy to top. Would I be overstocking? I have a grow-out tank full of plants/moss thats getting chucked in here too so plants are no issue. (Also please dont mind the hair algae, im working on it lmao - hence not adding the plants just yet) thank you!

I got him/her in my local pet stores. They are quite common but most shops don't have the proper name. They just name them base on their colors + lobster.

I tried googling but I am torn between clarkii and alleni. Or maybe its neither?

So just wondering if anyone can help me identify.

Thanks in advance.

Found this little gal in a creek deep in central ohio woods. Inaturalist suggested Eastern, Northern Clearwater, Rusty, and paintedhand mudbug. I don't think it's a rusty due to lack of patches, don't think it's a painted either as the claws aren't very robust. Any ideas? Would have taken more pictures but didn't want to harm the little guys.

Hello. Due to exoskeleton molt, my crayfish removed its claw but not from the beginning but rather the middle joint. Now half the claw from the front is open…. What should I do, I am scared about him.

Please help me identify this crayfish. I have had her since she was smaller, I work at a pet store and she came in by accident with the feeder fish. Since we do not sell crayfish, I do not know what species she is. She has changed color with molting a bit. Yes she is getting a tank upgrade. USA, I assume feeder fish are from somewhere in Midwest but could be elsewhere. Please help. Had for 5 months, grown like crazy, last picture is when I got her at end of January. About 3.5 inches. Still continuing to grow I think.
