The blue crayfish is a highly sought after aquatic invertebrate with a distinct blue blue colouration white white flashes on their legs and antennae. They can grow up to 16 CM’s in length so large aquariums are required.
They are excellent escape artists so a tight fitting lid is required, a minimum of 100 Litres per lobster with plenty of hiding / climbing places such as rocks, plants, coconut shells etc.
They are extremely sensitive to poor water and sudden fluctuations in temperatures and parameters so a well-established aquarium and cleaning regime must be in place.
As omnivores they will readily consume a varied diet and this does include fish small enough to be caught by their chelae (2 front claws.)
Purchase size 5-10 CM’s.
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 23 - 27 Celsius
PH: 6.0 - 7.0 PH
Carbonate Hardness: 4 - 6 DKH
General Hardness: 6 - 8 GDH
