I'm setting up a tank now (for my wife) to get a hammers blue crayfish Procambarus. Wife went nuts for having an invert so it was an excuse to pick up some used tanks! :-D
This blue sort she picked maxes at 5" and can go in a 20g. I heard they are less aggressive than the large ones and I wonder if a well-fed specimen would bother shrimp or some other invert kept in the same tank. I'd be putting it in a 30 gal long and create a nice abode on one end. Maybe some sort of sanctuary on the other?
I want to raise shrimps to feed to my other fish but do I need to spec a seperate 20 gal for that? Or maybe go 20 gal for crayfish if he is solo and then use 30 gal for massive shrimpery? I have both these tanks but just one spare filter/heater
I've also heard this crayfish isnt a very effective fish catcher so could breeder platys maybe be an alternative tankmate.
Lots o things to shout out about, thanks bros
