Things to Consider When Keeping Other Fish With Your Pet Crayfish

On the off chance that you will have a pet crawfish, there are a couple of things you should need to consider. Subsequent to having a pet crawfish for very nearly three years, I have taken in a few essential things about pet crawfish mind. 

Tank Size Matters 

For one thing, tank measure will be truly imperative in the event that you anticipate having a crawfish and other fish. For one, crawfish are exceptionally messy animals. A crawfish can messy up a tank rather rapidly by the waste it produces. Thus, I'd propose no less than a twenty gallon tank. By and by I've possessed the capacity to keep my own crawfish in a ten gallon tank. In any case, doing as such required more incessant water changes with a specific end goal to keep the tank looking new and clean. 

Likewise, a bigger tank will give more space to your crawfish and other fish. This is great as crawfish are extremely regional animals. 

Sorts of Tank Mates 

Crawfish are forceful animals. They are omnivores who cherish simply getting their paws on something and eating it. They have no issue eating other the fish in your tank, the plants and even other crawfish, on the off chance that you have them. 

So on the off chance that you anticipate having other fish in your fish tank alongside your pet crawfish, get angle who are additionally forceful. Fish that swim close to the highest point of the tank and who are quick work awesome as well. 

Right now I have ax angle and a red tail shark in my twenty gallon tank alongside my pet blue crawfish. The red tail shark has really been living with my pet crawfish for around two years. It's worked out extremely well since he too is forceful, swims close to the highest point of the tank and is a quick swimmer. This doesn't imply that my crawfish doesn't endeavor to grab him up every once in a while, he does. 

Keep in mind, angle who are moderate and swim close to the base of the fish tank, where crawfish stay, are probably going to be eaten. I have lost a couple of fish from the get-go in light of the fact that they were moderate swimming fish. 

Nourishing 

My experience has been that on the off chance that I keep my crawfish encouraged well, they aren't generally as forceful. Clearly, the more ravenous a crawfish is, the more probable it is to endeavor to chase down and catch your other fish. So keep your crawfish nourished, obviously don't overload him. 

Get a Hideout 

Your crawfish needs a safehouse. Once more, crawfish are regional and get a kick out of the chance to have a place to tunnel. This is particularly valid and vital when your pet crawfish sheds. Since when a crawfish sheds, he excessively turns into an objective, making it impossible to different animals in the tank, as he is powerless. Alcoves are shoddy and can be obtained at any pet store. Or on the other hand you can basically influence them to out of PVC pipe.
