The Neon Red Tangerine Crayfish is a vividly colorful variant of same species as the Electric BlueCrayfish (Procambarus alleni). Though crayfish are often reclusive by nature, this particularspecies is very active by comparison and spends plenty of time climbing around theaquarium.  It will eat most any meaty or plant-based foods, and it may eat aquarium plants.As it reaches adulthood, the Neon Red Crayfish may become aggressive towards other animalsin the tank. It is important to provide ample hiding places, such as PVC pipes or some sort ofdecorative container with an opening. This is even more crucial when housing multiple crayfishin the same tank. Basic aquarium gear is required, especially a filter (such as a pinky filter)because large crayfish produce a lot of waste, which can result in cloudy water and cancontribute to the dreaded green aquarium water. This is a hardy animal and good for abeginner to aquariums, but regular water changing is vital to its optimal health. Other bottom-dwelling animals should be avoided. Crayfish will typically eat whatever they can catch, butsince they are slow moving, they are not often able to harm small, fast-swimming fish (such as aSwordtail, Hatchet Fish, etc.).This listing is for a juvenile crayfish, which is a younger and smaller variant of Neon Red Crayfishat a discount price. This crayfish is a particularly fast grower and should grow into adult size andfull color potential within 1 to 3 months. In the meantime, customers who choose to buy ajuvenile specimen can save money and experience the excitement of watching their littlecrayfish grow!
