Procambarus clarkii (Crayfish) in a freshwater aquarium

Crayfish can be kept as pets in freshwater aquariums. They are easy to feed and will eat what ever they can find like fish food, algae walfers, or whatever they can catch. So you will need to be careful that they don't eat your fish and aquarium plants. Their preferred food is shrimp pellets and vegetables.

stuff on the bottom of your tank you might not see them much. But be sure to provide them something to hide under so they can feel safe in their surroundings. Crayfish are excellent scavengers and will help keep your tank clean. They like to create mounds or trenches in the gravel on the bottom of your tank to make a barrow for themselves. The dwarf crayfish (Cambarellus patzcuarensis) usually won't eat your aquarium plants and are fairly non-aggressive and can be kept with small fish. They only grow to 1.5 inches or less so make a better choice for fish tanks with small fish.

Be careful not to release your crayfish in the local streams since they could damage the local habitat. Crayfish come in many different colors. Blue, black, brown, red, pink, gray, green, yellow and purple.
