CRAYFISH TANKMATES

FIND OUT THE BEST CRAYFISH TANK MATES!

[@drathicusrex7244]

My blue crayfish lives in a tank with 10 white cloud minnows and a bunch of ghost shrimp. They all seem to get along just fine. I actually think my crayfish enjoys the company.

[@debrapage582]

If the little fish spends all it's time nibbling the glass it's probably an ottocinclus catfish that only eat algae. I have a five inch crayfish in a tank with cloud minnows amano and cherry shrimp and he doesn't bother any of them.

[@not.maddiek9156]

It depends on the crayfish, because I had a blue crayfish with a clown pleco and she ate ate him through the night. Since they’re nocturnal they hunt at night, that’s why during the day they’re more docile.

[@KnowingisHalftheBattle]

Absolutely, my tangerine crayfish ate 6 guppies in 2 days... I went camping for 2 days, came back and 10 guppies became 4 guppies. He corners them in the edge of the tank, grabs them, and shoves them down his throat.

[@reneap9049]

Truth!! Gotta feed Grut, my blue, everyday!! He’s 3 years old and is used to receiving protein & veggies so he’s not food insecure enough to want to eat my larger fish. Cannot put smaller fish with him.

[@RetiredEd1tz]

My 5 crayfish killed 0 glofish and 0 tetras and guppies , such good boys 😊

[@indigocrayon520]

​@@KnowingisHalftheBattlethat's impressive!

[@tghodosko7259]

Thanks good info I have been nervous about introducing a blue crayfish into my cichlid tank, so far so good.

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

Glad I could help

[@tompeeters8450]

From my experience my malawi cichlid were to aggressive towards the crayfish. Needed to separate them othewise I would have lost all crayfish.

[@ProducedbyPDot]

i got a electric blue , and 4 common reds , the reds are so much more aggresive towards anything that gets close to them , killed both corydoras first day the blue will only eat whats already dead (they are not in the same tank) but right now i got my blue in a tank with a Panther crab , and guppies , the reds are in a pond with a turtle and a few golds

[@markreid8788]

Had my one amongst 10 piranha and an albino pleco. Occasionally he would climb up the drift wood I had in ther and would swipe for the piranha. Had it that way for close to 2 years and the worst that ever happened was the piranha pecked off his claws. But for the most part he thrived on the left over food from the piranha

[@katarzynafaras8033]

Hi.Can you tell me why crayfish change colour from blue to brown?and what water PH.Thank you.

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

None of my crayfish ever changed color from blue to brown. Maybe you have a different species of crayfish? My ph is 6.2-7.5 varies on the tank!

[@IanQWE123w]

My crayfish literally eat another crayfish they were about the same size

[@crustaceansaustralia]

Hey, great video!

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

Hey thank! Really appreciate it!!

[@user-iu9tu5kh7w]

why did my guppies and mollies killed my craylings? I had newly hatch craylings

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

Adults guppies and mollies can eat the baby crayfishes when they get the chance but not often. I’d suggest that you separate them.

[@tanwarsoaib5646]

Can crayfish regrow there body parts like hands and legs?

[@the_pet_world3263]

no

[@HemorrhoidCream]

Yes, when they molt

[@frazerguest2864]

Yes. My large crayfish had a couple of legs missing when we got her. She grew them both back within a couple of months.

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

Yes they can! My crayfishes do that all the time haha

[@abhisheknandi2464]

my neon tetras are going missing, i have them in the tank with a couple of danios and a crayfish and 1 pleco.. is there any chance the crayfish ate them?

[@PULAG]

Why blue crayfish $15, shipping extra $30

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

Shippings do get expensive with the live animals. $15 is considered cheap where I live. They sell it at around $25-40 :(

[@djratino]

My Mexican crayfish is in a tank with a rosy red feeder, cichlid, and platyfish. I have no problems. They will nip the tail fins of guppies. The snail got eaten. 😊🐠🐀🐾

[@frazerguest2864]

Ours has eaten all of our Neons, Cardinals and Rummy nosed Tetras. She’s also eaten our large apple snail.

[@tanwarsoaib5646]

Hey, one of my crayfish just got freeze🙃 I mean last night I gave him dinner.. Next morning he's just freeze is he dead or going to start moulting?

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

If he’s still alive but just not eating, then he is getting ready to molt soon

[@tanwarsoaib5646]

@@WaterStTVsubscribe not alive he just got freeze like a demo toy. Then I just taken him out and sent to river near by me. But I want to known what happened so I don't get worried next time coz I have 2more

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

@@tanwarsoaib5646 then the crayfish has met its final day. They tend to freeze when they die.

[@tronghuynh982]

my crayfish is blue and have 1 claw

[@LindsayPentz]

do you know if i can keep a tire track eel with a crayfish

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

Not too sure but I’m sure they will hurt the eel if it’s not fast enough

[@ProjectileGrommet]

That Pleco is gonna get eaten

[@burger7614]

why do you say that there really fast they can get away

[@kingofrannoch]

My clown plecos learned that the hard way when I left it in there with a red crayfish while at work and came back to it in it's claw

[@abhisheknandi2464]

i just rescued my pleco from the claws of my blue crayfish...😫

[@zeroreacts_]

dont cary fish kills others shrimp and guppy’s?

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

Yes they do! So I don’t keep shrimps with my crayfish anymore. The guppies are a treat if the can catch them! But as of right now, the guppies I keep with the crayfish are used to aggression so they move around them! ^^

[@marcuspresnell5172]

Wat substrate u using ?

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

I used the Fluval Plant and shrimp Stratum because I used to breed CRS shrimps and other caridina shrimps. But I wouldn't recommend it. The best soil is the sand tbh because they love moving the sand around the create their own little space haha

[@LeSurrealDream]

What temp do you keep your tank at?

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

Anywhere from 78-84F!

[@LeSurrealDream]

@@WaterStTVsubscribe Thanks for the reply! Your cray does okay at that temp? I’ve read that they prefer cooler temps, so been keeping mine between 70-75, so not sure what tank mates would do well at that temp. Maybe that’s misinformation though haha.

[@WaterStTVsubscribe]

@@LeSurrealDream My 75 gallon tank usually stays at around 76-78 and my 20 gallons stay at around 78-80. So far my crayfishes have been doing great and since now I breed, I can assure you that these guys do well in temp anywhere from 76-82F! They are rather hardy creatures!

[@LeSurrealDream]

@@WaterStTVsubscribe Good to know! This would certainly give me more stocking options, so will give it a try. They truly are amazing creatures. Thanks again!

[@Chrisus1998]

Plecotomus? You mean plecostomus

[@RobHorror240]

It's a very complicated word.

[@DaryosBidyosFarming]

my redclaw ate my baby koi fishes haha

[@ghrmotorss.a.c1479]

Water St TV Amigo, estas seguro que los Guppys no atacan a los camarones ni a las gambas, cuando MUDAN DE CAPARAZON????
