Hello, I'm a bit confused on the minimum tank size for a cherax quadricarinatus crayfish. I've had some people say that 90-100L is fine (about 20g) but others have said to aim for 110-120L (about 30g).

I'm looking at a tank right now that's 60cm x 40cm x 40cm but not sure if it's big enough. If anybody has any advice that would be appreciated, thanks!

hello! this is my first time ever caring for crayfish so I'm not very knowledgeable on their anatomy. I'm pretty concerned about the white spot on the little guy's eyes. I just got him yesterday and his eyes were already like that. I figured that my best chance of ever getting help was from reddit with a bunch of specialists and veteran crayfish owners. Would someone please help me? Thank you so so much :'D

I posted in r/Aquariums but nobody answered and I'm kinda desperate so I'm copying and pasting the post here

My crayfish has molted two times prior but it was never at this location and both times I didn't get to see him molt so I don't know if this is normal.

The past month my crayfish seemed to be sick, growing these white specks on his claws (you can still see it while he's flipped) and I don't know what it is but I assumed it was some type of shell rot but I'm still not sure so I really wanted him to molt fast to get rid of it because I don't know if it's something curable. But the issue is that he eats very little, one pellet every other day and I didn't know why, I saw somewhere that crayfish can be dormant during winter since I live in the North and it's December right now.

The last time he molted he didn't eat his old shell and that was when he started eating less so I assumed it was because he was going dormant

The yesterday it looked like he was going to molt because his shell became really dark and then translucent (something that I've noted from his past molts) so I assumed he was going to molt and I was surprised to see him like this in the afternoon because this morning he was moving fine but I'm worried because it's been 3 hours and he was barely moving, but now I can't see any activity and I know I shouldn't but I'm really tempted to poke him to see if he's still alive

I heard that it is normal for crayfish to molt upside down but I'm worried if he struggling to molt or if it's because he's sick and wasn't eating a lot that he's not molting properly

We just rescued a Tyson. He has one claw. Will it grow back?

Complete with barbell so he can get STRONK. I'm trying out some live plants, we'll see how long they last.

Hello,

few days ago I noticed that my crayfish has eggs. It had alot of them, but today when I looked, she was eating her own eggs and theres only a few left. Is this normal?

Hi. My crayfish started molting today, got most of it off, but sat there flipped on his back for hours. I gently flipped him back over and moved him to a secondary container (he was between his tree and the side of the tank) for more room. He's still alive but not moving much and his gills are now outside of his body. Is there any way I can help him? What do I do? Will this be a fatal molt?

My daughter brought home 2 crawdads from class that otherwise would have been euthanized since they can’t be released into the wild. She’s such a sweet soul and was too attached to them so the teacher let her bring 2 home. One is quite a bit larger than the other and the bigger one seems to be protective of the smaller one.

They’re currently in a large Tupperware container (without lid) and we’re going to the pet store tomorrow to get a tank, hides, plants, bubbler, food, and sand.

When I put them in the container at home, I added more water from the tap so they were covered. We didn’t have time to prep and cycle a tank, though I’m familiar with all of that due to having fish in the past.

As mentioned, we are getting a tank tomorrow for them and all of the things I’ve seen online that they need. My question is - since we haven’t had time to properly prep and cycle a tank, will they be okay if I fill it with tap water and some conditioner? Do I need to do anything else? Any advice would be appreciated as we are new to this whole crawdad pet world. 🦞

my mama can’t stay at the bottom of the tank it’s almost like she’s full of air? i’ve pushed her down to the bottom a few times and she’ll grab onto something but the second she lets go she’s floating again. i finally got her to go in her pot so she’s staying down but i’m still really worried. anyone have any idea what’s happening?

Is this rare I haven’t seen a blue crayfish there ever

Is this rare I haven’t seen a blue crayfish there ever

This is after 2 month of 2 males and 2 femalws in a 70l tank

Give me some fun facts about them!! (Pic of my little guy eating an earthworm)
