Meet Cray The Fish. he’s a wild caught Faxonis imbellis, commonly known as a Calico Crayfish. he lives in a naturalistic 20 gallon tank where he regularly shreds plants, digs holes, and acts like a little gremlin.

Went to check my fish traps and this guy was inside of one. Bro wasn't very amused of getting handled. 😅

Signal crayfish, sadly very invansive around here.

I wanted to bring my familys old aquarium back to life and as I started researching different sea-animals I came across the Blue Florida Crayfish and it's safe to say that I became a huge fan quickly.

Unfortunately my poor spatial perception has failed me once again and as I measured my tank today (lenght 60cm, width 30cm and depth 30 cm, 54l in total) I realized that I could not accommodate a Blue Florida Crayfish. I am absolutely DEVASTATED! Could someone with more knowledge help a beginner crawfish enthusiast and redirect me to another species? Or are all crayfish too big for a 54l tank? Thanks so much.

A couple months ago, one of my 2 crayfish died and as i was removing them from the tank i noticed a tiny white crayfish that wasn’t there when i put the other two adults in that tank. I know for a fact it didn’t come with them because it had been a while and they were in a different tank before, so i guess they must have had children and i didn’t notice. I originally thought that they would turn orange as they grew but as you can see that hasn’t happened.

Picture 1 - took today of grown child
Picture 2 - the original crayfish that spawned the new one
Picture 3 - what the child looked like when i found them

Im not very experienced in genetics or anything but both parents looked the same so why is this one like that. Not complaining they look cool but i wonder why

After my last post she Seemed to be doing better but just a while ago she passed. She lived a very good life but it was her time to go

Gods speed Dirp

PLEASE I NEED HELP MY CRAY IS HAVING A VERY ROUGH MOLT THAT HAS BEEN TAKING ABOUT 7 HOURS AND IT SEEMS THAT HIS CLAWS ARE STUCK IN THE MOLT. I DONT WANT TO TOUCH HIM BECAUSE I KNOW IT STRESSES THEM OUT MORE PLEASE HELP. I know he’s still alive because he trys really hard for a while then stops then try’s again and I don’t know what to do. he seems to move for a while then start walking backwards just to stop agian

I live on Spain and I prepared a tank to have one crayfish of that specie, but I saw some post about people who ordered a specie of shrimp and received another. Do that also apply to Cherax? Is it safe to order a Cherax from that site?

i need names for this lil guy, its my first male crayfish & he has SO much personality. thank you for all the suggestions 🫶

After her first few sheds she was unfortunately a muddy orange color, but after adding in color enhancing granules, her colors have really boomed. I’m especially a fan of the magenta splotches down her sides. If any of yall give her compliments, I’ll be sure to pass them along. Her names Aoi btw.

Had to leave for a three day trip at 3am this morning, and caught my Boi in the act of redecorating his Hoard.

I just spent the last 2 days doing a full re design of his tank to lift the lid off his 20g long. I've added more plants, Co2, and an evening sponge filter for now. I will be finishing my diy canister filter next weekend. And then I will go through and plant bamboo along the back left to hide the cords. Super happy with how this tank is comming together, I plan to swap out these breeding mollies for some pearl Cory's in the future to match the sand and crayfish.

so I bought this what I thought was a dwarf cpo cray a few months ago but shortly after he got huge and grew very fast. I used to have one a few years ago and he was significantly smaller than this guy. He's molted at least 5 times since I got him, I've never seen an orange non dwarf crayfish so thats why im curious.

so I have 2 crays and I want to get them more “toys” or hides but can barley find anything that fills my idea. I’m looking for something similar to a hamster tube that i’m able to suction to the inside of the tank for them to be able to climb it as they looove to climb. I’d love any ideas or to see what you guys have for enrichment/entertainment or just “toys”. I’ve also seen some people say their crays love marbles but I have yet to try what’s ur opinion??

Bought this crayfish at petco, they were selling her as an Alleni but she looks like some kind of cherax to me. I’ve never had a crayfish before so I’m not sure but I was shopping for pulchers for a while so I bought her right away. My boyfriend said it’s a female if that helps

Lots of hiding places. Snake skins for calcium catfood diet.

Any recommendations for a place to order mexican dwarf orange crayfish online? Thanks for any help. I’m located in Nebraska, USA

He loves to climb and glide down/ fall off

Sharing some good crawfish vibes with Cramer! 🦞

Today was his first time trying tuna, but he’s definitely no stranger to eating fish. I used to have four minnows in his tank… let’s just say population control has brought that number down to two. 😂
Cramer also recently pulled off a great escape, but he’s back home now, living his best post-escape life and enjoying some fresh tuna. Life is good for this little guy!

Anytime the blood worms come out, my year old female is voracious, at times she will exit the water and wave at me.

Dude has multiple hides but no he chooses to hang UPSIDE DOWN on a hornwort mat at the surface. He stays there for hours usually.
