It is a crayfish. If it can catch it, it will eat it. Be warned.
It will probably eat any of your fish it can catch. The dwarf frog would probably be the first to get eaten. If you wanted to keep a crayfish you should look into some of the dwarf species cambarellus shufeldtii or cambarellus patzcuarensis They may be a bit harder to find, but they are small and won't bother anything. They have also been selective breed into a lot of different colors. Dwarfs are the only cray I would trust with fish.
