Right off, I apologize for the quality, all I have is a little webcam. Little bugger is also very active, he never stands still for a shot :) Lighting is just what's in the tank, and you don't get the greatest in color, but you can get an idea of the color of the sand I use :)

About a 2/3 shot of the 10g that's he's in. Running an Aquaclear 150, 100w heater and some rocks and fake plants. He ate the live one I tried to plant :) Sand is a few shades too light in that one compared to reality.

I need to get a digital camera. Sand is more of a burnt sienna or something, that pic makes it lookpink or something...

Behold... the (blurry) monster. :)
Need to get him when he's eating, he doesn't move as much.

You have the beginnings of a monster movie here. Just superimpose tiny images of people in front of the crayfish. I think you should name the movie "Claws."

Sorry for the silliness. What species is s/he? Is it one of those $2 crayfish or one of the fancier, more expensive kind?

$2 down there is like... $3 up here :P

She was listed as electric blue, and was a little more blue before she molted on Sun. Only $9 Canadian though, so I don't know the exact species (and my lfs doesn't know a species name from hole in the head)

At the moment, nothing, although I'm considering getting a couple of zebra danio as 'target fish'

Actually, my ex is giving me her 10g, in which case the 4 black neon tetra will probably end up with him. I don't know how 'aggressive' he is, but he's a heck of a lot more active than I've read cray's to be.

i used to spend hours catching them when i was a kid but i haven't seriously considered them for aquarium use. they do have some really neat blue ones tho......
