    Dwarf crayfish are my new obsession! They are super similar to shrimp in size but they are hardier and a little bigger which makes them better for fish tanks (peaceful fish that is). Let me know which one you liked the most! Check out all the crayfish we keep and new ones to come here: flipaquatics.com/collections/freshwater-crabs

    I've been eyeballing some CPO's for a few months. I picked up a few Amano shrimp from you a few months back and they're doing great! Very active and fun to watch. Only thing is that once these die off there won't be anymore since the eggs won't hatch out in fresh water. So i've been thinking about getting a pair or two of CPO if and when my Amanos start to age out.

    Peaceful you say? During their entire acclimation time I had to play ref between all of them fighting. It was male on male, female on female and female on male. Bros were throwing fisticuffs. Now they just randomly beat each other up in my tank when one another find each other. It's like watching a turff war in my tank at all times.

    Short story:
    CPO with black orchid betta.
    Corner of my eye I saw a flash of orange. I look in the tank, the betta was doing 100 mph around the tank with the CPO clamped on to its tail....shredded his tail up pretty bad.

    Had an orange Mexican crayfish attack a longfinned male betta. He/she grabbed onto the betta's pectoral fins and would not let go -- took a wild ride around the 15 gallon aquarium until I caught both of them in a net. The betta was terrified. 😢

    • @douggiles7647
      @douggiles7647 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He did say they are opportunistic, I actually had almost the exact same thing happen except the CPO grabbed it's tail fin and also let go on it's own so I didn't have to intervene. Definitely gave me a surprise to see my Betta moving so fast away from something but I couldn't help but let out a giggle when I saw the Cray trailing behind by one claw only to let go and go into hiding once it landed 😂 he definitely avoided the CPO from then on whenever he saw it.

    I need help. I got cajun dwarf crayfish last week. And today I did a small water change which was not even half a gallon and they started acting drunk. I checked their water and everything is good. Some would swim and flip on their back and stay there for a few seconds and then get back up and swim and then again flip on its back and then get back up. 2 did die. But the other ones idk. I'm using the same water as my electric blue crayfish

    • @LupDiesel

    Struggling with these dwarfs , i keep mine in a 75 gallon at 74 degrees with shrimp. And chili rasboras . Got hides rocks stem plants Java moss fluval stratum and stem plants. I've bought a dozen twice now. Everything else does fine , both times I've started with 12 they do fine for a couple weeks and then I loose 3 or 4 then the rest will be fine for a few weeks and I'll loose 3 or 4 . 30% Water change twice a week. Any ideas as to what is causing this? Too warm? Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to give there input. Thank you

    • @yourlocaltoad5102
      @yourlocaltoad5102 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They are very sensitive to metals.
      So maybe you have some rocks that contain metals (most commonly iron oxide) or maybe your water could have some metal contamination?
      But it could also be the temperature.
      In my experience they prefer it a bit cooler. (Around 20C or 68F)

      @rup 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@kittensnugs No. There is wayyy too many animals in just 20 gallons that the ammonia build up will overpower any 20 gallon filter. Around 20 fish should be kept in a 20 gallon tank. 42 needs the bare minimum of around 50 gallons. A crayfish should have at least 5 gallons and 10 for the best setup. I would have all of that in at least 70 gallons for all of them to have enough space and also so they don't die from their own feces and buildup of food.

      Should they? No. it would be difficult and costly for a small business like this to know all livestock regulation for every state and territory to where they ship. They'd need to hire multiple people to just understande and qualify every purchase is "legal". Nice idea, if you don't want companies like this to exist.

    Hi, sir.
    I need your cooperation.
    About a year ago, I did setup a tank for breeding caridina shrimps. Cause I didn't have access to ADA, Benibachi, or Shirakura soil, I chose the Dennerle brand and, failed.
    I'm pretty sure the reason I failed is just using this soil.
    Now, I have access to ADA soil. What do you think about using a top filter, securing its entrance with a sponge and pouring the ADA soil into the top filter and passing water over the soil and bringing the pH level to the ideal state? Meanwhile, the use of bacteria, within seven days, to neutralize the releasing of ammonia through the ADA soil
