Crayfish!

[Conner]

My friend picked a couple pounds of live crayfish up from the chinese market, and had a pang of guilt. He decided to save a few, so he gave me 3 of them...

I have 2 of them in a tank with 2 florida gar, a red snook, a pike cichlid, and a datnoid. None of them are large enough to eat the crayfish yet. The cray's are about 6" long each.

I like the claws on the last one, but the other two are doomed if they stay in that tank to long.

Yep. I plan on adding a couple caves for them to hide in if I can find some I like this weekend. It'll be a while (I think) before the fish are big enough to eat them. If one of them does get eaten, I'll remove the other to another tank so it doesn't get eaten too. But since I got them free, I wouldn't be totally heartbroken if it happened...
