My son now has a pet (caught a cray in the creek)

Post by Suzie Q »

I have tried to research them and the best way to care for "her". I don't know the scientific name for a plain wild creek crayfish. I don't know what to feed her (not sure what sex...but "her/she" works LOL). I have been feeding her Sprilina? flakes that I feed to my Endler's. ATM she is in a 2g hex (doing wc every 2 days) but will be moved this weekend to a 5g with an HOB.

We have had her for a couple of weeks and she has molted once already..she looks good.

Can someone help me get started? I want to do the searching...I just need a starting place.

Thanks!!!

A picture would go a long way to ID the little guy there are over 600 species in the US alone and quite a few of those are in Texas.

As far as feeding goes mine eat:
Worms
Fish
Plant Matter
Romaine
Kale
Ham
Pellets
