How to tell if my crayfish is an aggressive type? It's pincers are dark blue/red...

Here's a pic of it for you guys to determine if this is an aggressive type..

that is a male cherax quadricarinatus and looking at the size of the claws in comparison to the body i would guess it is 6"-8", a male quad at this size i would not expect to live happily with fish you can try it but its never worked for me.

Yes, it's around 6"-8".. Is it able to kill bichirs or any fish around 4"-6"? I noticed that it reacts slowly but strikes with a death blow.. nono, maybe 2~3 death blows..

 

[synodontisjack]

it can kill a 4"-6" fish easily especialy as the bichirs dwell round the bottom as well at that size the cray can easily draw blood if it got you they have a very powerful grip. you can risk mixing it if you want but do so at your own risk.

Btw, do crayfish destroy plants in the tank? I just bought a new plant & wouldn't want to see it all ripped apart..

 

[synodontisjack]

yes it will destroy it.

I'll give it 2 days time to see if it can live "peacefully" with the plant.. If not then I got to move it elsewhere..

Do they chew on moss & consume them?
