bought plants exceeding $100 & placed 1 in the tank to see what it does. it investigates that area, & immediately starts munching on the plants..i was like, Nope, took the plant right back out. it even unearths the root tabs, & makes the water cloudy and murky
Excellent tank, looks very nice!!!... I have crayfish aquariums for a long time... I have a couple of tips: The Crayfish are excellent escape artists. Be careful with the height of the diftwood, the filter, the bamboo, or anything you can climb, because they will do it and they will try to escape ... They have a kind of Houdini complex ... I don´t put many in your tank, maybe a couple more white procambarus clarikii looks very nice), because the Procambarus sometimes are very aggressive, and it is common that there is some cannibalism, the best thing to avoid is have a lot of space to keep separated, otherwise they spend the day hidden and you can not enjoy watching them. If you want to keep some fish with them guppy are a great option (if you dont have problem with living food), they will catch some, and be a good extra to their diet... But guppy reproduce very fast, which will always be more than the crayfish can eat ... I really love them, they are excellent pets !!! ;) Ps: Sorry if my English is a bit strange, I'm using a translator ... :)
Matias, thank you for the great tips. I haven't thought about guppies, but will consider it. Crayfish are very interesting creatures and beautiful to watch and film!
Hi PDFT and Matias, I also suggest guppies, they are gorgeous and energetic and multiply like crazy, and because I added a variety, my cross breeds are really cool. I have them in a planted 30 long with a pair of Bolivian Rams and they really do well. I know the rams snack on the babies from time to time, and so do the adult guppies. I use the tank as a plant nursery and the fish do well even though I am regularly planting, trimming and replanting. Guppies are low investment and high activity and colour.
Guppies are the great !!! Beautifulfish, and great living food... :P Crayfish don´t get the little guppies, just get the big ones... In my crayfish tanks there is only "young adults" and babies... When i have some very nice males y just get them out, and sometime females too... I forget.. Another GREAT living food/cleaning crew are ghost shrimp (i have "Palaemonetes argentinus", but "Macrobrachium lanchesteri" or any other kind of fresh water common shrimp will be good)... Both guppies and ghost shrimp can live in water for Procambarus Clarkii/Alleni (PH 7 to 9 / Gh 15 ) is not the best for guppies & shrimp but both reproduce a lot without problem and adapt to that conditions... :) Snails who become a plague will be a great food for your crayfish !!! :)
It's ok. I made the same mistake. I got some blue cray fish and threw them into a planted aquarium. By the end of the week, they had eaten all of the plants and half of the java moss. They are voracious. I've found that adding algae wafers does seem to dissuade them from eating plants as much though. I've started introducing plants again but more as a treat, since I know they'll eat through them.
nice video there on crayfish :D and free hardscape thats even more cool cheers, anyone else having crayfish at home now in 2021? and hows your crayfish tank now in 2021>?
Beautiful tank setup, its inspired me to try out the same design. I do have a couple concerns though, mixing species of crayfish can lead to death. The electric blue crayfish are much larger then the red ones and are likely to kill and eat their mates. Most prefer to keep them individually or one male and female to prevent accidents such as being seriously injured or death. I also suggest a lid for your tank because crayfish are known to be good escape artists. Good luck!
Be careful about mixing different colored crayfish, because they can and will kill each other. Or even the same color too I’ve found in my experience. Personally I love the blue crayfish as my favorites. The red ones seem a bit more friendlier than the blues. But DO NOT put any crayfish with the white ones. Those are devils.
Love your video. Thanks! Couple more things: They LOVE UNcured bacon. I found some at Walmart. You have to cut the fat off the lean and cut it in small pieces. They will take it directly from you and fight over it! Also, they love blanched spinach and java moss. I have overflow thanks of java moss and just drop handfulls in their tank.
I totally disagree about "sick." This is one gorgeous tank. I keep some plants like the echinodorus in mine as well, but yours is beautiful. Just keep them well fed with algae wafers, shrimp pellets, and dried worm pellets and they will leave each other alone. Single pairs usually live together peacefully.
I have a blue crayfish... she has been upside down fkr last 24 hrs....and seems like having trouble moving.... did you experience anything like this or have some information that will help me ?
So my little girl, 9, just brought home a crayfish blue male without talking to me....its got a small tank a hiding rick and that s it I'm freaking out bc I know it needs hardscape and plants it's not natural for him now and I hear him tapping and I feel so sad. Help me I need to keep him alive and well but with as little as I can I plan to buy a longer tank and rocks for him.to dig I want to do it now at 2am but I can't lol. ...i have tap water sitting out for 24 hrs like one video said to do and hoping to hit the store as soon as I can foe this little guy I know my daughter loves it and needs him to survive and be happy. Plz help me tips and advice. Is what I plan ok? I won't be able to do what you've done which is perfect but I need it to be perfect for us ...oh this little guy I love him now
Man, that crayfish tank set up looks amazing! I made similar mistake myself. I added a crayfish in my molly planted tank, and it ended up eating most of my plants and some of my fish too. So I just made a pond for him outside. I like your vids man
Mine Dosnt ever touch the plants in my 240 gal , mine also had babies and they don’t even mess with the plants at all , hard to find homes for them now tho
Before watching the video I thought "this guy didn't learn a thing from last time he put crayfish in a planted tank". But I'm thankful I watched the whole video. What a great idea! Keep it up sir, you're doing a great job and we're learning from you as well.
Love your ingenuity !! as usual your videos are full of really helpful tips and the recycling of the plastic bottles to create lucky bamboo pots is awesome. I have some red mangrove I am growing from pods and I think that your idea would be perfect to stop them from falling over all the time. I love this tank and can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next! are you planning to put some fish in this tank? Thanks again for posting - as I have noted before you are my fav. channel!
Thank you much, Cindy! I definitely get motivation from your comments. I do plan on putting fish in this tank...I may ask for suggestions from the community...probable need fast moving fish to escape from the crayfish...also not sure what to do for algae eaters...maybe I'll stick with fast Siamese Algae Eaters!
dude your voiceovermicrophone is so much worse then your normal recording mic why? and why do sovelnose catfish eat discus? btw you enlightened my discusflame after a rly bad nightmare where i fucked up many gigant fish :( and O >O >O these are three discus btw
Yeah, the audio thing is tricky...I might have to upgrade...the quality of the sound when I plug to my camera vs when I plug to my computer is different somehow.
or you record an acutal video with your camera but you only use the audio eats massive amounts of data space and is unnecessary af but it would be a cheap option
Great video! I had crayfish when I was a kid. Just the ones you'd find in the ditches (south Texas, Houston area). They would have loved this tank! They did end up eating a few of the guppies so be careful if you are thinking of adding fish. What are the odds the blue pairs up with the red? Purple babies?
Should of had some sand before the aquasacping8:00. so why did you drill the tank than added hob filter, but for water level. For a 75 gallon that would of been good for dwarf cichlid too. I would of kept the channel about breed and spawn discuss. Until you have enou gh discuss stock to pair for spawning .
I don't have a sump ready...the hob will buy me time until I set up the sump. Yes many options for stocking...As you know, we have to be patient with discus...they could take a while to breed...but I do have discus topics that I have lined up until they spawn. Thanks for tuning in!
At least that's a nice crayfish habitat. And you didn't break the glass.4:30 I would of used a block of wood and some sand water solution when drilling. I've gotten tips all of these aquarium channels. And drilling caves in rocks is a good one. Than there's the right soil which is pebbles than sand than more pebblles. Im thinking Sand starts to mold from lack of air pockets.
Ok I need ur advice so bad! So I just got a crawfish for the first time.... CORRECTION I have 18 BABY crawfish in the same tank, and I need to know can they stay in same tank together, what do baby crawfish eat, and can they survive without their parents?
Have you checked into Mexican dwarf crayfish?bright Orange. I have them in planted tank they're too small to do any damage...I have to admit the bigger blue ones are really nice looking though
Great video. My neighbour gave me a Yabby aka Cherax Destructor about 2 years ago. He is an awesome fella. I am just in the process of building him new tank with lots more places to explore. He loves climbing up a chopstick and enjoys back scratches too lol.
I like the idea to put the bamboos in plastic bottle to avoid the extension of the roots and the plant have a substrate to grow , but I think this particular type of bamboo is like hydro-type plant. I saw it many times to grow in glass Vases, with only water inside! Do you believe that this plant has any effect in the ph of the aquarium ? I want to do the same project for a shrimp colony (obviously in a smaller tank).. Thank you ,Great video !!
dude that is a nice tank. my little lobster would love to crawl in there. i would get a 40-75 gallon tank if i had the space but mr lobster is gangster in his 20 long
You need a source for basic science? Lol...I hope that's a poor joke. Any rock with liquid trapped inside it is susceptible to exploding, as the moisture trapped inside will quickly expand and place pressure on the rock. Sometimes it might just crack, other times it'll explode.
I think a solution would be to keep the water temperature just below boiling (212 F). I think you can do this by first getting the water to boil, then turning off the stove until boiling stops, then put the rocks in for 10 minutes. Remove the rocks and then repeat...may take a little longer, but should reduce any risk of explosions while disinfecting the hardscape. Spraying with H2O2 is an alternative.
Congrats with your new discus , i saw the unboxing also ! Love your community set up and the red discus are hudge too ! nice set up , boss and original , get some repashy beachbuffet !

I would impulsively buy that awesome looking crayfish any day! What a beautiful tank you have. Great stuff.
FISH FOR THOUGHTTTTTTTTTT
Hi Chris
Chris
Legend of a man 👊🏼
This was some old comment of yours 🤣🤣
bought plants exceeding $100 & placed 1 in the tank to see what it does. it investigates that area, & immediately starts munching on the plants..i was like, Nope, took the plant right back out. it even unearths the root tabs, & makes the water cloudy and murky
I have a blue one and it escaped before found it in the middle.of my living room walking around
😯😆
Great aquascape and brilliant idea with bamboo for a crayfish tank! Awesome work!!!
Excellent tank, looks very nice!!!...
I have crayfish aquariums for a long time... I have a couple of tips:
The Crayfish are excellent escape artists. Be careful with the height of the diftwood, the filter, the bamboo, or anything you can climb, because they will do it and they will try to escape ... They have a kind of Houdini complex ...
I don´t put many in your tank, maybe a couple more white procambarus clarikii looks very nice), because the Procambarus sometimes are very aggressive, and it is common that there is some cannibalism, the best thing to avoid is have a lot of space to keep separated, otherwise they spend the day hidden and you can not enjoy watching them.
If you want to keep some fish with them guppy are a great option (if you dont have problem with living food), they will catch some, and be a good extra to their diet... But guppy reproduce very fast, which will always be more than the crayfish can eat ...
I really love them, they are excellent pets !!! ;)
Ps: Sorry if my English is a bit strange, I'm using a translator ... :)

That's great info guys, thank you! Guppies are on my list!
JPs VlogUK hehehehe yes i know... I had 40 some days ago... Now my 3 bigger females have a lot of new baby... Like 1000 in total jejejeje... 😝

Mine doesn't eat the plants (well except for hydrillas which i planned to get rid off anyways)
nice video there on crayfish :D and free hardscape thats even more cool cheers, anyone else having crayfish at home now in 2021? and hows your crayfish tank now in 2021>?
Love this! Any 2019 update? How did they fare?

Why does this dude kinda look and souls like George Lopez
The Blue Diamonds look Amazing!
Great idea with the bamboo. I'm excited to see how it goes longer term.
Thanks Brian! How are your discus?
They are going well, thanks (^_^).
How did the bamboo turn out?
damn, that scape looks great man!....really like that!
isnt that too bright?
Be careful about mixing different colored crayfish, because they can and will kill each other. Or even the same color too I’ve found in my experience.
Personally I love the blue crayfish as my favorites. The red ones seem a bit more friendlier than the blues. But DO NOT put any crayfish with the white ones. Those are devils.
lucky crayfish. one of the best lookin tank.
This guy must be looking for a new stove as well putting that much weight on a glass top stove.
Love your video. Thanks!
Couple more things:
They LOVE UNcured bacon. I found some at Walmart. You have to cut the fat off the lean and cut it in small pieces. They will take it directly from you and fight over it!
Also, they love blanched spinach and java moss. I have overflow thanks of java moss and just drop handfulls in their tank.
That tank looks so sick! I would add a couple of green and red echinodorus tough, crayfish dont really bother with them.
Ok, sword plants would be nice...probably the larger once with thick stems! Thanks!
I totally disagree about "sick." This is one gorgeous tank. I keep some plants like the echinodorus in mine as well, but yours is beautiful. Just keep them well fed with algae wafers, shrimp pellets, and dried worm pellets and they will leave each other alone. Single pairs usually live together peacefully.
Sick means good. It's the 2010s version of the 1980s "radical".
Nice Video and Tank. btw, are you experiencing bio film growing on the lucky bamboo? I had that issue when I used lucky bamboo on my tank.
anyone experienced this?
Can crawfish live in a ten gallon?
wow very nice setup! very impressed!
I have a blue crayfish... she has been upside down fkr last 24 hrs....and seems like having trouble moving.... did you experience anything like this or have some information that will help me ?
My blue crayfish loves moving around and eating the moss in his tank and will absolutely demolish all of it if he gets hungry
Very nice tank looks so natural and has an amazing look love the mixture of the substatate
So my little girl, 9, just brought home a crayfish blue male without talking to me....its got a small tank a hiding rick and that s it I'm freaking out bc I know it needs hardscape and plants it's not natural for him now and I hear him tapping and I feel so sad.

Plz help me tips and advice. Is what I plan ok? I won't be able to do what you've done which is perfect but I need it to be perfect for us ...oh this little guy I love him now
Is it possible to home 2 crayfish in 15-20 Gallon planted driftwood tank?
To the comment on impulsive buy. That's how we always done it. Buy something new, then do research on it 😂
The wood is looking like A dragons head! 😂
can we get an update on this tank?
Man, that crayfish tank set up looks amazing! I made similar mistake myself. I added a crayfish in my molly planted tank, and it ended up eating most of my plants and some of my fish too. So I just made a pond for him outside.
I like your vids man
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Inspiring!
I found my crayfish walking around my apartment fighting with my cat one morning so I suggest a good lid also🤣
so nice bro, simple but awesome.
My dream tank!! IT’s beautiful❤
Mine Dosnt ever touch the plants in my 240 gal , mine also had babies and they don’t even mess with the plants at all , hard to find homes for them now tho
the Lucky bamboo is good for the crayfish?
What's the best process to clear/cure outdoor wood and rocks you can't boil because they're larger pieces, please?
Did you ever had an issue of the crayfish climbing out and escaping?
That's one of best setup for crayfish...👏
Beautiful setup, thanks for sharing.
Before watching the video I thought "this guy didn't learn a thing from last time he put crayfish in a planted tank". But I'm thankful I watched the whole video. What a great idea! Keep it up sir, you're doing a great job and we're learning from you as well.
Thank you Kevin!
Wow this is a great looking set up. Really love how it came together!! Looks so natural!
Post more videos plz
I will try to post every week and thank you for tuning in!
Very cool aquascape for the crayfish.
Thanks Joey! just saw your new fish haul. Good luck with everything!
Had a few die on me, but for the most part they're doing good so far.
I also follow your channel, and love your new fish room set up!
just need to get Alexa to turn the fish tank lights on again...
Love your ingenuity !! as usual your videos are full of really helpful tips and the recycling of the plastic bottles to create lucky bamboo pots is awesome.

love crayfish in planted tanks
whats the point of overflow if there is no return or is there a return thats hiding somewhere?
Do you think that they could live with a betta?
What did you want Mike to check so badly?
Lucky crayfish 👏
Super!
Nice!
Great video. It was a lot fun!
Thank you Zack! Your fish room looks great!
PlantedDiscusFishTank Thank you. 😊
Hey can we keep cray fish with discus
Crayfish look amazing. Do you think it will work in my tank, I have only driftwood, anubias and valisneria ?
dude your voiceovermicrophone is so much worse then your normal recording mic
why?
and why do sovelnose catfish eat discus?
btw you enlightened my discusflame after a rly bad nightmare where i fucked up many gigant fish
:(
and O >O >O
these are three discus btw

Crayfish are unbelievably cute! One of these days when I'm filthy rich I wanna set up a massive aquarium full of crayfish.
Haha, just work a lot of overtime like I do :)
They eat each other... so be prepared for a few losses.
i see crayfish, i subs.
Awesome tank.❤
Should of had some sand before the aquasacping8:00. so why did you drill the tank than added hob filter, but for water level. For a 75 gallon that would of been good for dwarf cichlid too.

FIRST
FIRST
omg...
Very Nice!!!! I'm jealous because I can't afford extra tank...
dude that is a nice tank. my little lobster would love to crawl in there. i would get a 40-75 gallon tank if i had the space but mr lobster is gangster in his 20 long
Don't boil rocks again, they can explode.
I have yet to see a reputable source on that.
Mayur3tears never once heard of that happen doubt it does but I will take your word for it :)
You need a source for basic science? Lol...I hope that's a poor joke. Any rock with liquid trapped inside it is susceptible to exploding, as the moisture trapped inside will quickly expand and place pressure on the rock. Sometimes it might just crack, other times it'll explode.
Google it Luke, its been documented multiple times. I've also had it happen before, although the reaction wasn't that "violent".
I think a solution would be to keep the water temperature just below boiling (212 F). I think you can do this by first getting the water to boil, then turning off the stove until boiling stops, then put the rocks in for 10 minutes. Remove the rocks and then repeat...may take a little longer, but should reduce any risk of explosions while disinfecting the hardscape. Spraying with H2O2 is an alternative.
Hope they don't fight each others. Beautiful crayies
They will fight i would only have 1, tiger barbs are good mates,
Love your tank! Your blue lobster looks close to mine.
when the red male crayfish entered the tank he made a flip
Question what’s the best kind of fish to put with crayfish?
How often do you have to clean the fish tank? Is it a long a long process to complete?
I had that bamboo in my cichlid tank and at first it was doing great but after 2 years it suddenly died. It went yellow and than began to rott
Those orange rocks look like they have iron in them which is good for plants.
That would be nice...I've never tested for iron specifically...do you know of a test kit to verify iron content?
i do not know of a test kit for iron. Might want to google for it? Maybe try using a magnet to see if it is attracted to the rocks?
Congrats with your new discus , i saw the unboxing also ! Love your community set up and the red discus are hudge too ! nice set up , boss and original , get some repashy beachbuffet !
Thanks chris! I will take a look at the repashy beachbuffet for crayfish!
I noticed three of the pendant lights are lower than the others. Is that to provide more light for the plants in that area?
Anthony, yes...I have a red rubin sword on that side that typically requires higher light than my other plants. Thanks!
I always wondered why and forgot to ask... thanks for asking Anthony
That was a very nice setup for the tank. But how are you gonna manage them when they are about to molt?
Do you send fish to Brazil?
Update on the crayfish tank?
wow that tank turned out very nice!
Why is the water level so low
Nate, I wanted to keep the leaves of the bamboo above the water. It doesn't do well submerged.
Thanks!
PDFT
How long did it take to cycle your new tank with the seeded filter?
Super simple but very pleasing build!
Brilliant set up, looks very natural
Nice video thank you very much :)
nice fuckin tank :)
Thank you!
Real King of DIY!
Very nice great job 👍
Your tank looks amazing!
they eat each other when one of them took
out its shell to regrow new ones
