Inverts for 3g?

There are a number of dwarf crayfish species, the most common one in the hobby is Dwarf Cajun, which has a blue morph, if what you're looking for is a blue crayfish.
dwarf crays are probably to big for a 10g...and they eat fish....are you putting a betta in there?
3g is too small for any crayfish. It is also not the best environment for any crustacean. Shrimp, crabs, and crayfish are all extremely sensitive to nitrates , nitrites and ammonia. With a small volume of water, such as three gallons, there is no margin for error. You'll have to frequently monitor the water quality (every two to three days) and perform frequent water changes, to be safe.
If you're dead set on putting a large invert in the tank, you could possibly put in a single shrimp, from one of the smaller freshwater prawn species.

I'm not familiar with that tank. It much depends on the tank's footprint. There needs to be enough room for a crayfish to roam about, and have a cave/hiding place of some sort. The cave is a must have for when the crayfish molts, or feels stressed. If there's enough room, then yes, you can put a dwarf crayfish in that tank. Avoid any crayfish that doesn't have 'Dwarf...' in it's name.
Uh... no comment.
