Hi I just put 2 crayfish together in the same tank and I went to feed this morning one had killed the other and ripped it in half. Is that normal? or is he just overly agressive ?

If you got a P. alleni, that is par for the course. Most crays under 2" will eat eachother given the chance and especially when one molts.

multiple hidding spot for the molting process is a must if you want keep them together.

I would understand the molting thing but this crayfish still had it shell! I dont know how he did it but he tore his tail completly off like a lobster tail.!
