I was just wondering if I could keep a blue crayfish in a tank with nothing else in it. This is a 10 gallon. How large would it get, and what would I have to feed it besides feeders? If I can't, what type of crayfish should I keep in there?
 
Crays like having a gravil substrait and having hiding places for when they molt. As far as feeding goes they generally subsist on whatevers left over after you feed the fish so basicly you can feed them just about anything you would your fish...I DON'T recomend feeders however.

Electric blues would do well in a 10 gallon for life but not one of the giant blues..they get too large to be comfortably housed in a 10 gallon for life.
 
Hikari makes a food for crabs, this is great for Blue Crays.
 
I get whatever frozen whole fish they sell at the lfs, put it on a bamboo skewer, and feed it to mine. She really seems to like it. Especially the silversides. :drool: If you can't do that, just get some sinking pellet food, and it will do fine. :D
