Aquatic Arts - 1 Male CPO Crayfish - Live Freshwater Aquarium Lobster Crawfish Crawdad Real Living Nano Fish

The CPO Dwarf Mexican Crayfish features a beautiful, eye-catching fiery orange coloration that will add a crazy bright burst of color to any aquarium! They are one of the most brightly colored varieties of invertebrates we offer. Additionally, they are easy to care for, and their feeding requirements are simple - they feed on leftover food or almost any kind of fish food. They will also eat high protein sinking pellets, veggies or plants, and freeze-dried or frozen foods. Cuttlebone can be added to the aquarium to supplement calcium and will aid in exoskeleton production. Dwarf crayfish like this one are among our favorite invertebrates here at Aquatic Arts and an excellent choice for nano cubes or a micro aquarium; they are larger than dwarf shrimp (they can grow up to 1.6 inches long) and tend to live much longer, but are still small enough to live in a tank as small as 5 gallons. They are active and do not typically hide during the day like most larger crayfish, but they do appreciate decor that provides cover, such as fake reefing. Substrate, such as sand or pebbles, is important to support crayfish. Though this crayfish is small enough not to be a threat to most other tank inhabitants, they occasionally go after dwarf shrimp (such as Crystal Red Shrimp),

Highlights: The CPO Crayfish (Cambarellus patzcuarensis) is an eye-catching fiery orange that adds a burst of color to any tank! The coloration of our crayfish is MUCH higher quality than others for sale! These do not hide during light hours like most crayfish - they are very active. However, they still do best in an aquarium with plants or tank décor that provide cover, such as a cave or tunnel. They do well in most community tanks, though they occasionally have been known to eat dwarf shrimp. A Betta may try to attack dwarf crayfish, so we can’t recommend them as tankmates. This crayfish very small sized, reaching a maximum size of 1.6 inches (4 cm). This makes it a prime candidate for small or nano aquariums, such as 5 to 10 gallon tanks. This listing is for one male young adult crayfish. Each box of Aquatic Arts (formerly InvertObsession) brand plants and animals come with a 100% live arrival guarantee, plus free email support!

Review snippets: These really help keep our fish aquarium clean! They love to eat all the leftover fish food and debris in between the rocks at the bottom of the tank mostly. We love to watch them climb on things and they / My crayfish was delivered earlier than expected, which was great. And seemed perfectly healthy. I had to email customer service about something and they responded super fast and were very nice. Highly recommend. Read more
