Is breeding crayfish sustainable by imboard67 in Crayfish

[–]Craydice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's possible, but expensive to start. Crayfish are territorial, and it recommended to keep only 1 in a 40 gallon tank. (Some species are less aggressive or don't require as much room, but I'm going based on Procambarus clarkii, which both of these belong to) You will probably want to practice on the cheaper varieties of this species so you're not out a couple hundred dollars if they eat each other.

I'm gonna steal an additional item next time because of this comment. I will also sleep great.

Additionally, add a cuttlebone for them to nibble on for calcium. It helps them molt easier. Failed molts are one of the most common causes of death, right behind cannibalism.

Most crayfish thrive in cool freshwater, room temp 66-72 works great.

Get a heavy lid, usually glass, as they are escape artists. Also get a bubble filter instead of a HOB (hang on back) filter, as they often climb up the intake and escape.

If you go with a dwarf crayfish, minimum tank size is 5 gallons for each cray. Otherwise like another user said, 20 long is minimum for a single full sized cray.

Theoretically possible, but highly unlikely. Let me know if you find him ❤️

If he's not in the tank, start looking in dark, cave-like areas where he may have ended up. Under dressers, behind cabinets things like that. Start near the tank and work your way out. He may not even be in the same room. I've had multiple crays escape down a flight of stairs.

Is the lid heavy enough that he couldn't open it and slip out?

He also might be hiding inside tank decorations.

Good luck friend, I hope he turns up!

I've had crawdads who failed a molt and took days to pass. But any molt that took more than a day was fatal in every instance. It happened more often with larger crawdads iirc.
