Kinda made a mistake and went on an impulse by today. I live next door to a bait shop and today I noticed they started selling crayfish for bait. I had to take a look, next thing I knew I was taking this guy home.
I have a good amount of setups at home so I've placed this guy in his own 10 gallon Rubbermaid with lots of cover for the little guy. Im using large stone gravel, no plants except for some devils ivy rooted in the water. I have a 40-60g hob filter, no heater and I'm using well water as they do at the bait shop.
This is my first crayfish, I have the resources to care for this guy but some advice would be greatly appreciated. How is my setup? May not be much to most people but this guys pretty cool. If someone could help me identify the species and give me some basic info including adult size it would be awesome. If I'm correct they eat mainly plant matter, however I've also placed ten rosy reds in the setup..
Please don't bash me, I can go shopping in now to get anything else I need. Thanks again mfk!
