A crayfish on its back

Post by jtheuma »

I was in a local fish store, and the owner gave me a crayfish which is staying only on its back. What can the problem be? I never experienced this kind of thing. It has all feet and in full blue colour. He told me that its been like that for the past three weeks.He stays closed on its back.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hello

What is your tank setup and type of crayfish? Also, have you tested the water for nitrites and ammonia?

You should also check the pH and make sure it is consistent.

Keep me posted on your results.
