Ralf nuggs himself explains how he keeps and breeds crawfish. I go through the process of how it's done and how it's done right, yet simple, and still beautiful for your home. Stay high.

They’re genuinely super easy to care for. Pretty active and big eaters. They also enjoy the tank (even though they try to escape) they genuinely like it in there. Unlike a lot of fish that just deserve to be in nature, crawfish are pretty chill with it kind of like beta fish. They just be chilling

We started keeping Crays a couple of months ago, and your video was my main inspiration. PROBLEM: both crays (a self-cloner & a Clarkii) dropped eggs at the same time, and we are now overrun with littles. What can I do with all the babies? I started out with the 5.5g and had to add a 20g, but am still changing filters 1x a week to manage the bioload. I don't want 150 crayfish!!

Julie Risko Neely you can ship them to me! I run a crawfish farm. I would recommend just fishing the little ones out. They will eventually hatch from the eggs on the tail and craw all over the mother, until eventually being bold enough to go out on their own. At this point get a net and fish them out, you can probably donate them back to a fish store or give them to somebody who has cichlids to eat them. As far as water changes go, yeah, it can become a big pain in the butt. I really recommend not over feeding. I'd rather see my fish starve to death than knowing the reason they died is because I over fed them, not even to mention how filthy the extra food makes the tank. Crawfish don't need much food at all, in fact from my experience they do best going through a 2 day fasting period between medium to large sized feedings. Don't be overwhelmed, it's just little baby crawfish!

Awesome video! Seriously, I wish I saw this sooner. Our last crawfish died about a month ago, and we got rid of our baby crawfish since they started eating each other. It was so sad; the bigger guys literally started munching on the tinier ones. It was hard taking care of them. At some point we even had three tanks in our room, so we ended up deciding to throw them in the lake behind our house. They have a lot more room there, so we hoped for a better future . (I am not certain if they are still there, but I really hope they are! We do have some bigger fish in there, and many different birds and some alligators swim by every so often.) The next time we own crawfish, though, I'll add some egg shells and more rocks for hiding spots! I know that they catch live minnows because we witnessed it!

So no as long as your tank is cycled for as long as you’re comfortable with. Maybe using a filter already with some beneficial bacteria and you can just get cracking. Crawfish are good for a setup you don’t want to mess around with ever. And they turn heads for some reason

@ralfnuggs165
@ralfnuggs165 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah a 5 gallon is plenty, in my opinion a single crayfish will do a lot better in a smaller tank. You could do a nice little tank, simple yet elegant and not have to bother with it much. Maybe throw in a beta fish or some live plants. But 10-20 gallon is overkill for one crayfish unless you really want to be super humane and think you’ll eventually upgrade anyway.

By cycling the tank I meant the nitrogen cycle, but if you're talking about how often your filter should cycle your tank about 3 times an hour depending on size and the amount of fish you have. Do 60% water changes 1ce a month or 80% every 2 months. Good luck!

It has substrate, small rocks and gravel with live plants as well as a small piece of driftwood with a huge plant. I got a free crawfish from a teacher at my school who had two in her 50 gallon in her class. She said it's okay to have him with guppies.. Will he eat the plants?! He is just chilling in them doing nothing, but I'm scared I'll wake up tomorrow and the plants will be butchered!

Homie, I had more problems with an under crowded tank. Crawfish are insanely social creatures. They have territorial tendencies but aren’t naturally aggressive unless they are lonely.... Give them adequate filtration, plenty of hiding spots and crowd the tank to a comfortable level.... YOURE right though. In nature they’d have way more space, and I can’t speak on happiness, but I promise they live a healthier life in my tank
