If you had to pick the most beautiful type of freshwater crayfish what would it be?

I'm sorry I didn't specify but I'm not looking to breed shrimp I just wanted to have 1 shrimp as a cleaning part of the tank so breeding isn't an issue but I don't want some ugly ghost shrimp I want something presentable something I could still look at. My favorite shrimp is a blue tiger shrimp but ...

Would blue tiger shrimps slightly lower ph requirements which tend be around 6.5 to 7.0 be ok in a a higher ph tank like 7.0 to 7.5? Could I get away with this or would be to much a difference?

Absolutely not because it will rust. It would also eventually leech chemicals into your tank that would be toxic to most fish and definitely shrimp.

The other species of shrimp I found was the blue tiger shrimp I do like these better but I know nothing about them would they be easier or harder to take care of then blue pearls?

Hi, I am a newbie when it comes to shrimp although I am quite experienced with crayfish, anyway I have a 20g tank and I have been looking for a blue species of shrimp to add. My favorite species of blue colored shrimp that I found was the blue pearl shrimp. I figured that its care requirements weren...

Last Friday, the 14th my crayfish arrived in the mail. He seemed to be healthy except for a missing antennae but I’m sure that will come back in a few molts.

Hi again, my next question is what you be able to feed a Cray? I have shrimp pellets that are going to be his main meal but I know he would need some vegetation as well. Some people told me I could use give him lettuce or cucumber slices. Would this be good? I know there are pesticides and growth ho...

Ok because right now I have gravel that is white,blue,and green but im going to upgrade to black sand to bring out colors and promote digging, im hoping he will be happier with sand since I would think it would be easier for him push and excavate.

I'm wondering what would be better for a Procambarus Alleni crayfish, sand or gravel?

Ok thank you so much for the info. I am currently doing things with both my tanks and have been trying new ideas so I might have a few more questions now and then. This forum has been helping me a lot and I thank everyone who helps me out.

I was wondering if anyone knows what the smallest crayfish you can buy is? I also want to know what is the most peaceful tempered crayfish, preferably one that can live with fish and other bottom dwellers without harming them.

Thanks you, and yes it does I appreciate your time and effort to reply it helps me out a lot!

Thanks for the info I currently have a medium size piece of drift wood in the tank, its very tall but it stretches about half way across the tank I also have a fake tree stump with holes to go inside of it. I'm thinking of getting a pile of small cichlid stones since they are perfect caves and my pr...
