I believe she's just being protective whenever a fish is swimming near it. Should be alright. Not to worry too much for now, bust keep monitoring |

can i ask a very noobzor question...is it okay for the crayfish to have their backs exposed to the air permanently, like i sometimes see at the LFSes? As in the water level is kept reaaallly low and only the ventral part of their bodies are submerged. I bought one long ago and kept it that way as it was what i saw in the LFS. The crayfish survived for a damnnnn long time, it refused to die until it got overheated one day when the tank was placed under direct sunlight.
I did not question whether keeping the crayfish with its back dry would be okay or not..But looking back, its not that okay to do it right?? BTW for that 3 or 4 months it was with me, it never once molted. |

yeah, as mention above, it will be wiser to have them fully in water.
When I first started, I only have a small tub (no airpump), so I started with this method of half submerge it in water. Yes it can survive, but it just won't grow. As soon as I have an airpump and a decent container, it moulted within a week (coincidence, unsure), but it did have more living quarters when I started introducing used cut plastic bottles as their hideout. You don't really require to spend too much for crays, just have to be innovative. A decent tank, and a cheap airpump (<$5), used plastic bottles (cut both ends). And you are done. |
