One of the most colorful freshwater creatures available, the ever popular Electric Blue Crayfish
must be seen to be believed! This species of crayfish possesses a gorgeous cerulean blue color
that looks especially striking when the aquarium is lit by LED bulbs or full spectrum lights.
Though most crayfish are reclusive, these are very active by comparison and spend plenty of
time exploring the aquarium. They eat almost any meaty or plant-based foods, including
leftover fish food or a pleco block. They are known to be live aquarium plant eaters, so take
note before packing your tank with plants!
As they mature, crayfish may behave aggressively towards other animals. It is important to
provide them with hiding places such as caves or assorted PVC pipes. Due to the size and waste
production of this crayfish, a 30-gallon, well filtered aquarium is the minimum size necessary
for one adult. A larger aquarium can house multiple adults of similar sizes. This is a very hardy
animal, but regular water changing is vital for its optimal health. It’s possible to keep medium
and upper-level, fast-swimming fish with crayfish, but crayfish are opportunistic feeders and
will generally eat whatever they can catch. Examples of possible fish include Rasboras, Guppies,
and Endlers.
All of our “B-Grade” crayfish are simply specimens that are missing legs or claws that we offer
at an extra discounted price. Loss of limbs is not permanent and happens very commonly with

crustaceans. They are very healthy, of great quality, and will completely regenerate lost
appendages within 1 to 2 molts (about 2 to 3 months).
