    It's not simple, but the first two hits for "breeding crayfish in captivity" give a great overview

    you can feed them about anything, but they like a diet with frozen shimp(that you might commonly have in your freezer), lettuce, algae wafers, etc. apparently you can even feed them dog food, they really arent picky.

    A lady at the grocery store I work at found one at the parking lot. I currently have it in a good sized plastic container for now. I'm gonna see I cant find a home for it. Looked like it was in a good fight and missing a feeler.

    I just got an electric blue for my 30 gallon community tank. The store rep said it'd be fine with airstones (I have 3) but it seems to be reaching towards the top of the tank a lot. Last time I saw this from a cray was when my parents caught one wild, and put it in a goldfish tank with no air or filtration. It died within a week. Should I be worried?

      They can be, as long as there is oxygen in the water but they will sometimes go out of the water. I know this is an old comment.

    @idleonic1790 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've just gotten a crayfish, which has just molted a few minutes ago. I was wondering do i leave the exoskeleton be, so that it may eat it for additional calcius. Or do i remove it?

    • @reptilia5
      @reptilia5 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Kasper Madsen Leave the exuvia with the crayfish. The exuvia will be eaten for the calcium the crayfish needs. It will be eaten quickly.

  • @joehaaayyez765
    @joehaaayyez765 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    What if you don't let them have a place to get to the surface...I have a 20 gal tank with a 30+ish filter that is more than strong enough to keep the water oxygenated and clean so I was wondering if that could be enough or do they need to get out of water?

    • @ianallen2
      @ianallen2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They dont need a surface. They are not amphibious. They live in the water all the time.

    My crayfish keep on looking at the Goldfish we have and I think it wants to eat it and I already know that but for some reason it just stays there and then stands up on its tail and just moves its legs a whole bunch and I'm scared of everything.

    • @ianallen2
      @ianallen2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Any that are not slow movers or bottom dwellers as the crayfish can catch them easily. Dont put siamese fighters in as the flowing tails attract the crayfish and they try to catch them.

  • @LightningJaguar

  • @JacobLoebel
    @JacobLoebel 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Can they eat fish guts? Because when I go to the resivuar with my cousin to catch crayfish for dinner, the go absolutely NUTS for it. Sometimes I dream of keeping one of those crayfish that we catch. The way I catch them is I take a fishing rod and catch a fish. The size of the fish does not matter, because you won't be eating the fish. First, kill the fish. Next, cut off its head and toss it the water. But don't toss it far. toss it about 2-3 feet. This attracts the crayfish. Next, gut the fish and put the fish's heart on the fishing pole. (The crayfish especially like the heart because it is full of blood). Next, check the fish head you threw in. There should be a few crayfish nibbling on it. Then, dangle the bait in front of the crayfish's face and it should be attracted by the blood leaking out of the heart. Let him grab it with his claws. Wait for him to bring it to his mouth. Then lift your pole out of the water very slowly, because if you go to fast, he will get scared, and let go. Have a container of cool water ready for your crayfish. Change the water every 20 minutes or so, so that the sun doesn't make the water too hot for it. When you get home, place it into a pot of boiling water with basil and garlic powder. Eat the tail and claws only. Have fun!

      @piasmtp9579 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Raymond 7162 Well yeah that's a pond they have theirs in a little bucket.... A pond has a bigger bioload capacity so you can stock more and regular crayfish tend to get really big. If you have it in a 50g+ you shouldn't have to do a water change everyday but you would need one at least once a week if you do not have a filter...
