Can these be placed in the tank in the size they arrive with the electric blue crayfish? If not, once they grow?

The crayfish I have had in the past never seemed to bother my snails. They were very tiny snails, what ever they were. I only had problems with my crayfish fighting with each other.

Not very easily. You can try a 8-10 gallon bag if you can find them, but don't get your hopes up.

No, I would not just drop these in your tank. They are used inside the filter so beneficial bacteria will grow on them. If put correctly inside the filter, your tank will be much better off and will cycle much quicker, easier, and maintain good water conditions.

They are great quality, but even such this Is a small variety of shrimp, and will be only 1/4 to 1/2 or so, maybe bigger but not much.Get like 30 in a 5 gallon and it would look great.Tbh with these guys order more than you need, they are sensitive. That being said, the seller sent me.mine and ALL were live, its been MONTHS and most are alive.

As long as the other fish aren't too small or too aggressive. Most normal-sized fish in tanks aren't big enough to eat a large triops, but triops will eat other small fish. My second pack of triops said that they will eat smaller triops. And by small fish, I mean like neon tetra size. Adult triops can get a couple inches-- as long as the other fish in your tank are around one inch or more, you should be fine.Also, never add crawfish to any tank. I had a friend that had a crawfish, it ate both of his angel fish and escaped the tank.

Most tetra species get more than 1.5 inches each at adult size. Some species of tetras getting up to 4.5 inches adult size. Putting tetras in this small of a tank is not recommended, because it will stunt them pretty bad and will shorten their life span. Professionally we recommend tetras to be in no less than 10 gallons. They do best in schools of 4 to 6 or more and need to be kept between 78-80 degrees as they are prone to stress and disease if kept in cooler water. Avid tetra owner for 15 years. Just my two cents.

The smaller pellets are about 3-4mm in size. If the fish are large enough to grab these, then you should be able to feed them. The food nicely floats on the surface allowing the fish to attack them as needed. I use them in an outdoor pond with Koi and they love it. The original / previous versions of the food were much larger pellets (about 2x) so make sure the ones you buy are the smaller pellets.

I don't believe so. I think we had to send in for them. They died within a day or two. I would not recommend this product. The aquarium is flimsy plastic and not well made. Unfortunately it was a disappointing purchase and experience with the tadpoles.

I don't see why not if you are buying the smaller pellets and the fish are already big mouthed. For instance, these don't work well with guppies whose mouths are too small. The fish need to be able to grab the pellets. The pellets don't muddy the water so a tank should be fine. Is there room in your tank for the fish to jump at the pellets without hitting the top of the tank? The pellets will float on the water. They are designed for fish that have colors like Koi and large goldfish. Have you considered purchasing the flakes?

i have a 5 gal tank,i think its wrong to put them in a tiny bowl and i don't see a cat harming it . good luck.

They're pretty small. I have a 60 gallon tank with a pretty strong filer pump, after I put them in the tank I never saw them again. Dont know if they were eaten or got sucked into the filter. If your goldfish isn't too big you would probably be OK.

Technically you COULD, but it'd be a strettch... after my experience working with fish I can definitely this tank is far too small for most aquatic life.

If you have a small tank or a bowl, I would suggest Marbled Crayfish. You can find them on ebay for under 10 dollars. They are fun to watch. Do give them places to hide (sea-shells, etc.) They are lots of fun to watch grow. No special equip. Needed.

I haven't tried the shrimp with them yet but from what I have read they should be ok. I tried guppies and it didn't work. The guppies died but I don't honestly know if it was the crayfish. Guppies do spend time at the bottom of the tank which is where the crayfish are. I am going to try tetras which seem to be the fish most people recommend with the dwarf crayfish.

I have mine in a small glass tank directly under a standard aquarium light. I have bottles place elsewhere to give me green water to feed them one liter at a time. I started with the following link as a guide, and have adapted the set up to my own needs as I go. Best of luck!! http://www.caudata.org/daphnia/

I have one of these CPO crayfish in a tank with a Betta, 2 small fish, corrie catfish, 2 snails, and african dwarf frog. I have no real problems after 2 months. This Mexican crayfish is way too small to eat even my tiniest snail (about 1/2").

I would say that a 3.5 gallon tank is a little too small. The main problem is that a goldfish is a cold water fish which does not require a heater. These Mexican dwarf CPO crayfish should be housed in a heated tank the same as you would keep tropical fish in. They don't share the same temperature requirement. One or both of them are going to suffer if you house them together depending on the set up.
