Electric Blue Crayfish Aquarium CARE

Aquarium Electric Blue Crayfish care starts with tank setup. Crayfish are only going to utilize the aquarium bottom where your gravel and Substrate are. This means that you will want a more shallow and longer aquarium with more crawlspace on the tank bottom. You will then want to have a lot of rock cover because Crayfish mainly like to hide during the day.

Most people buy crayfish for their aquarium to pay able to see them but a lot of times they prefer to hide which means you’re not going to see a lot of them. The rock cover enables them to hide in darkness and feel more confident. What are the main reasons they prefer to hide in darkness is because they are nocturnal.

They prefer to do most of their scavenging and roaming at night time when we are sleeping. This means that you will actually not see a lot of your electric blue crayfish in your aquarium. This is worth noting because you almost have to set up your fish tank in that manner if you plan to have crayfish as a pet in your fish tank.

The best food for your aquarium crayfish is going to be dead fish. In the wild crayfish mainly feed on the dead decaying carcasses of dead fish or inhabitants in the river. Chances are you don’t have dead fish to feed them but what you can do is go and buy some raw shrimp from your convenience store and make sure it sinks to the bottom and feed them that.

So now that you know the proper set up and Care necessities for pet Crayfish this may change your idea on only one. I will admit they are not as fun as one would think to own as a pet in your aquarium.
