he i am new to keeping dwarf crayfish. i would love to add some to my 60 gallon planted, i hear they are fine with shrimp and fish. but i will have dwarf cichlids in the tank and i dont want them competing for hiding places so what would yu'all suggest as hiding places for the crays. im not worried about the dwarf cichlids because i have seen mine do well with shrimp, and crays are larger.

No experience with that combo, but cichlids, shimp & crays have a bad track record, and cichlids usually end up with full bellies.

i have kept sa dwarfs with shrimp brefore and they werent aggressive at them at all. but im more worried that perhaps they will compete over hidin places because i will have several cave like places for the cichlids to preferably breed. plus its a very large tank and i didnt want a whole lot of crays.
