Cool!!! It's a Cherax Quadricarinatus, better known as the Redclaw Crayfish. These things can get HUGE. It will outgrow a 15 gal tank pretty quickly if kept under the right conditions. Full grown you'll need a bigger tank. You'll know when it's too large for the 15 gal, then you'll have to rehouse.....
Check out BTB0923's thread down the page a little. See the last few pics???

Thanks , i guess i wont be getting one of those then , just had a look o thelast page of that thread and they are huge , bigger than i thought they would get .
I'd highly advise you to keep the lobster by himself, the fish will eventually die and get their fins badly damaged by it.
We did have one customer who had it in his tank for a while with many large cichlids and one day he was eaten by the jack dempsey our customer had in the tank.
I have one at home and once I put in 6 feeders into the tank. All were eaten except one, this guy managed to live with it for like 3 months and one day I was on my computer and happened to look behind me and the fish got caught off guard and became dinner for the fella

I still think you should get one......They're heaps fun to watch clambering around in the tanks......
You'll get a few good yrs out of him / her in the 15 gal.......

You might have the 3ft tank up & running by the time it out grows the 15gal.......Yabbadoo;2527144; said:LOL......I didn't want to turn you off them...

I keep my crawdad in my tank with fish. No problems and he has been accepted by them. And my fish are supposed to be some of the worst fish to be with (Midas, Green Terror, Convict).
I will say that I had another one in there in the beginning and he got destroyed but in my tank the Midas either likes you or she doesn't. No one is safe until that determination has been made. A pleco I had also got destroyed. The one I have now, just like my crawfish had been 'cleared'.
Mine is a red one by the way so maybe that makes a difference. I am not sure. My apple snail is left alone as well although my Midas gets mad when she goes into her pot.
