Maybe.

Inverts are great though.

Look at the number of cray owners vs. the number of shrimp and snail owners, however o.O

The algae eater might get ambushed....i can imagine it sucking on the side wall near a hiding place and BAM! I'm picking up a make n 3 female guppys for my tank next week. That way they can breed him food.

As for sexing you need to flip it on it s back amd look at its last pair of legs. If there is smaller pair looks more like mini legs its make they are for holding on to the female. No tiny legs is female

I kinda observed his hunting habits

Opens his pncers and waits for the fish to come to him lol Mr.dumby
And he wants the pleco who is almost his size lol

But yes algae eater is small for him to get

Since u have a blue go to bluecrayfish.com, they have a sexing section there.

And I love my crayfish I'm thinking about getting him his own 20 and some "bait" for him to chase. Needs low light eats everything fun to watch just mske sure your lid is tight

Default Re: crayfish

tons of info there, from food to housing to how to keep them from escaping on your filter(cool whip top with a star cut in the middle slide over the tube). They have the different kinds of "blues" as well. This is def not an aquarium animal i would have thought about when first getting into it but now I may always want one.
