Ok well an update. My cray fish looks kinda brown. Is this normal? His food is red and the cichlids eat much of it so i try to drop it in there while thier asleep.

What size is at?

Sometimes the coloration from juveniles to sub-adults to adults can be quite drastic. Going from bright blues to dull greys, olive greens and browns. Foods can also play a part in this a little bit, depending on what they are comprised of.

Color changes can also be a sign of stress. How's your water, nothing funky going on? Have you seen the fish harassing the cray perhaps?

No stress if anything he seems more confident walking out in broad daylight. Just did a water change last night so everything should be fine. The fish are curious but not in anyway harassing. I would say he around 2 inches.

He might just be going through his normal color change then. What's in the food you're feeding him, sometimes some of the nutrients in them can cause color change

I have no idea the food came in these little plastic cups things that salsa and other things come in when you go to the restaurant.

lol, interesting.
Well, finish out the food and then try things with Spirulina in them. It'll bring out some of the blues in some crayfish.
