hi i have a 6.6 gallon tank that is 24" long and 9" wide would it be ok to stock it with a blue crayfish

i read they should have 10g at least but thats only for foot print size.

heres my tank.

i plan on planting java moss and java fern.

What species of blue crayfish? Most will gobble your plants and eat the other tank mates. They will also escape your tank in just a few days and it is not big enough for an adult clarkii or alleni. They would barely turn around in a tank that size. You are talking 7" body + claws when adult.
