What type of leaf litter are we talking about? I have seen almond leaves I think for aquariums, but not really much else.

I want to set up a 6.6g bookshelf type tank with some Eco-Complete and live plants for some Cajun Dwarf Crayfish but thinking about the full details of it. How many Crayfish is good? Can I also keep Heterandria formosa with them? What about red ramshorn snails? Live plants of course with some driftw...

Maybe a stupid question but what is the proper diets for crayfish? One place I read says as adults they should have more veges and not too much protein. It says definately not too much fat. (http://www.anapsid.org/crayfish.html) I have been mostly feeding my crayfish (in order of what is given most ...

Okay, so how many dwarf cajun is suitable to start off with for a 20g long tank? Is there a density issue for feeding and what is the maximum limit so I can stay well below that. For Florida Blue Crayfish, how many can I keep maximum in a 150g tank that is about 6 feet long by 1.5 feet wide? Also, I...

Yeah, they look like the marble crayfish, but they got more red in them and some light aquaish color too. Mine are not adults yet and the pictures were obviously not full grown either. The ones I saw at the pet store that were larger were more red, so I thought maybe the red swamp crayfish looked mo...

I am thinking of getting some dwarf cajun crayfish but wondered what size tank is needed. How big for 5, 10, 15? I am also thinking of getting some blue colored crayfish (it's own tank of course). How big a tank do I need for these per crayfish? Adult size tank that is since it is best to plan ahead...

I think they might be Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). My largest one is about 3.5" now. Scared me when I saw him since I didn't think he was that big not long ago. Anyways, I am down to 7 of my original 10 which tells me they really need more room and more hiding places (maybe more fo...

Here are a few pictures of my crayfish I have in a 40g tank. http://polliwog-design.com/crayfish/crayfish01.jpg http://polliwog-design.com/crayfish/crayfish02.jpg http://polliwog-design.com/crayfish/crayfish03.jpg http://polliwog-design.com/crayfish/crayfish04.jpg The largest of them is nearing 3 in...

I would have to agree then that they must be some other sort of crayfish since they decided to snack on ALL my live plants in that tank. Even all the java moss. They look so much like the picture of the crayfish on this site. Maybe I will try to see if I can get pics and post them so someone can ide...

I got 10 crayfish from the petstore this past week. The adults were a little over an inch long and the ones I got look just like the picture of the Cajun Dwarf Crayfish picture on this site. They are living in my 40g tank that has a light Eco-Complete layer (not gravel, just left over Eco-Complete f...

How many Red Volcanic Shrimp (Halocaridina rubra) can I put in a 5.5g? How big a tank would 500 Red Volcanic Shrimp (Halocaridina rubra) need? hehe

Currently I have 12 in a tank that is <1g and am thinking of just going for a larger tank. I just love these little guys.

Here is an upate on my tank. This past Friday I recieved 11 of my 12 red shrimps alive. So they now reside in my 1g tank. The algae still is blooming and I am a tad concerned.. though the shirmps don't seem to care.. and are found around it. Here are some pictures: http://www.polliwog-design.com/shr...

Items from the 2.5g tank were moved into the 1g tank for upcoming shrimps. http://polliwog-design.com/shrimp/shrimp04.jpg I am hoping to have a stand and hood made for the tank... Currently: Tank ~ 1g glass by OceanFree (from Petco) with black background Substrate ~ Black "Tahitian Moon" s...

My lighting is some PC bulbs.. not sure what kind exactly but was sold from Dr. Foster and Smith on some sale. Double plant bulbs I think... I had both bulbs on but after the overflow of algae, I only turn one on now. Well it looks like I won a bid for 12 shrimps, so I will be moving materials from ...
