I just got 14 baby blue crayfish. What is the best way to take care of them. My friend gave them all to me in a jar. I have put each them in a seperate container. I was thinking of leaving them in the containers. What does everyone think I should do?

If they're still real small you might be able to get away with keeping a few together in something like a 20 long, but yeah eventually they'll turn on one another. Not sure how well they will hold up in small unfiltered containers. I'd do daily changes using water from your fish tank.
 
Crayfish are awesome! I have a crayfish named rocky and he is cool to watch, he climbs around on the plants and on some larger rocks I have in his 20 gallon. His tank mates are 4 zebra danios. He eats shrimp pellets, and it is interesting to watch him eat, he eats sort of like a chipmunk.

You might try putting them in something like a "betta barracks". You can probably get a decent amount selling them once they get about 1.5 to 2 inches.
