cray fish question

[slow302stang]

I went to the bait store and picked up a bunch of baby crayfish. Do they need moving water like fish for air? I would put them in my tanks but I don't want them to over eat then I bought them for feeders

You can put them in a bucket. But I would just put them in the tank.

a HOB filter and some hiding spots. Ive found that some are picky eaters, preferrs live or meat food but Most are scavengers. They will need a protective cave for when they molt bc they are very vulnerable to attack and death at that stage

I want them to die. I bought them for my red tail catfish. They ate a cray fish the other day that was the size of my hand when it molted. I put them in a breeding cantanier they'll be gone in a few days anyway

than a bucket and a air stone should be good

they're expensive at the bait store. nothing beats the good ol' asian store that sells wild caught crawdads for 3.99/lb lol

They also sell them large. My bait store specially ordered them for me. 26 for 12$
