## Description

The CPO Dwarf Mexican Crayfish features a beautiful, eye-catching fiery orange coloration that will add a burst of color to any aquarium! They are one of the most brightly colored varieties of invertebrates we offer, and their large size draws the eye right to them. Additionally, they are easy to care for, and their feeding requirements are simple - they feed on leftover food or almost any kind of fish food. They will also eat high protein sinking pellets, veggies or plants, and freeze-dried or frozen foods. Cuttlebone can be added to the aquarium to supplement calcium and will aid in exoskeleton production. Dwarf crayfish are among our favorite invertebrates here at Aquatic Arts and an excellent choice for the nano or micro aquarium. They are larger than dwarf shrimp (they can grow up to 1.6 inches long) and tend to live much longer, but are still small enough to live in a tank as small as 5 gallons. If you plan on attempting to breed your pair of crayfish, pay close attention to your tank parameters with the use of tools like a TDS meter and pH increaser or decreaser. Though this crayfish is small enough not to be a threat to most other tank inhabitants, they have on occasion gone after dwarf shrimp (such as Tiger Shrimp, etc.), so we can not guarantee safety for dwarf shrimp when raising them in the same tank. Most cichlids and goldfish are aggressive toward crayfish, and bottom feeders should also be avoided. Thus, dwarf crayfish can only be kept in some community tanks with snails (like Olive Jade Mystery Nerites, etc.) and fast moving fish (e.g. Harlequin Rasboras, Tiger Barbs, etc.)CARE GUIDELINES:- Temperature: 60 - 75° F (16 - 24° C) - pH: 6.0 – 8.0 - KH: 6 - 12 dKH - Minimum tank size: 5 gallons - Average adult size: 1.2 - 1.6 inches (3 - 4.1 cm) - Average purchase size: 1/2 - 1.5 inches (2.5 - 3.8 cm)

## Features

- CPO Dwarf Crayfish (aka miniature crawdads) are an eye-catching fiery orange that adds a burst of color to any tank! The coloration of our crayfish is MUCH higher quality than others for sale!
- These are very active and do not hide during light hours like most crayfish. They are fully aquatic and do not need land, so they can be kept in an aquarium instead of a terrarium.
- They do well in most community tanks, though they occasionally have been known to eat dwarf shrimp. A Betta may try to attack dwarf crayfish, so we can’t recommend them as tankmates.
- This crayfish very small sized, reaching a maximum size of 1.6 inches (4 cm). This makes it a prime candidate for small or nano aquariums, such as 5 to 10 gallon tanks.
- This listing is for 1 breeding pair, so each kit includes 1 male and 1 female crayfish. All Aquatic Arts brand plants and animals come with 100% live arrival guarantee and free email support!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: so is it a male and female package**
A: I ordered this and received 1 male and 1 female shipped together but packed separately, in good health with great color. Just like pics.

**Q: Are these CPO crayfish's maximum size less than 2 inches?**
A: Yes, in their description it says usual max size is around 1.6 inches. 2 inches for these guys must be pretty big.

**Q: I have gouramis and tetras are these compatible with the crayfish?**
A: Gouramis could be an issue but they’re probably fine

**Q: Is there a warranty on them?**
A: They offer a live-arrival guarantee, but I'm not sure about a warranty.  They are great about answering questions though.  Send them an email and you should hear back from them fairly quickly....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Undoubtedly one of my favorite aquarium additions!
*by D***N on May 9, 2016*

I ordered 6 of these little guys from Aquatic Arts. As a hobby I have quite a few aquariums running in my house and these are definitely one of my favorites so far. I've only had them a week now but they are all seem to be very healthy, well colored and active. They don't hide unless molting. I have them in a planted 55 gallon aquarium with ram cichlids, tetras, danios, and dojo loaches. They flex (pump up, like "come at me bro") on each other but they don't seem to get too serious about fighting and I think they are too small to really do any serious damage to each other. I've seen one of the rams nip at them but it was more of a 'what are you and would you taste good?' kind of nip, he backed right off. They run face to face and bump (and even crawl on) into my loaches quite frequently and neither the loaches or the crays seem to have any ill intentions toward each other. So, I'd go as far to say they are pretty darn peaceful, and they don't bother my plants at all and even if they did they are so small they couldn't really do much damage anyway. Again, even at their max size I can't see them causing much havoc, but from the little reading I've done about them it sounds like betas and other slow fish with long soft fins/tails shouldn't be housed with them although I'm sure you could get away with it in a sizable tank.This is my second order from Aquatic Arts (first was blue velvet shrimp). I was a little disappointed about the shrimp order because they are very small. I wanted to put those in the same tank but they would certainly become a meal rather than an ornament. This would be my fault though as I somehow overlooked the approximate shipping size in the Amazon item title. I am hoping they grow or breed in the small fish bowl I have them in now.I have a lot of faith in Aquatic Arts and I'm thinking they will likely become my number one source for live fish/plants/inverts. Their selection is excellent and well priced. Looking through their website they seem to have specialized their inventory to more interesting species (i'm guessing species they've taken a liking to their selves) rather than carrying everything. They seem to be on top of their game and care about their customers, their products and their live creatures. As others have noted my shipments were very well packaged.Highly suggested!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Healthy and active pair.  A great addition to my planted nano aquarium.
*by J***Z on October 23, 2016*

These were packaged very carefully in a small priority mail cube box, with an internal styrofoam casing and with the plastic bag containing the crayfish nestled in some type of powdery filler material--similar to pulverized paper--to add additional protection and insulation. When removing the plastic bag containing the crayfish, ensure that you are above a trashcan, outside, or otherwise prepared to clean up a bit for the filler material that will come out with the bag.My two crayfish arrived a few weeks ago healthy and active and still seem healthy. They do appear to be male and female because I spotted what appears to be eggs on the female. I have a planted 5 gallon nano aquarium with an old broken clay jar which offers some shelter. The male is very active... out and about for most of the day. The female spends most of her time hiding. First she hid inside the clay jar and now she seems to have either found or burrowed a spot under the jar's handle. I am not sure but she may be brooding young while hiding... I should find out soon. The tank that I use for the crayfish is shared with guppy females and fry and also includes a nerite snail and one remaining ghost shrimp. The crayfish aren't bothering their tank-mates that I can tell. I saw one trying to eat one of the small, invasive plant snails and it may have been successful as I haven't seen many of these small snails on the glass the last few days. I have read that it is essential to provide hiding places for crayfish because they are vulnerable when molting. Since they are currently with guppies I am not that concerned but otherwise I would have provided some additional protection as my clay jar is a fragment and open on one side. Update: four weeks later and female has been out and about after molting and hatching some young crays.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Packaged well, Alive and healthy
*by T***T on October 24, 2024*

Packaged well, Crawfish seems to be alert and healthy. They even included a live plant so the crawfish can grab onto something… 5 stars
