Default Housing crayfish together question
I have 15 Virile crayfish (caught from a creek) that I have had since the end of October. All are doing well. I also have an Electric Blue that I've had for 3 weeks now.
I want to house them in a 55g tank DIVIDED of course!

I would like to downsize in the # of tanks I have running & house these guys together. I this do-able?
A guy from another forum said it would be fine.



Thanks

I don't see what the problem would be, as long as the tank is divided

I think it depends on the type of crayfish and the personality of the ones you have. The safe advice is only one per tank but in a larger tank two might be okay if they have space and caves to make their own territory.
