I.D. Possible Dwarf Mexican Crayfish

[RiverMonsterFisher]

Ok so I bought a crayfish from my LFS. It was called an Orange Crayfish. I did some research to find out exactly what it was. I think its a Dwarf Mexican Crayfish. Only problem is, they max out at 1.5 inches. Mine is at least 3. So... is there any MFKer out there that knows what it is? Also any information about it that I should know. Thanks!

pretty sure it's a mexican dwarf cray. They are the only orange cray that I can think of. $35 is a bit pricey. Are you measuring with the claws? That could be the size difference. I am no crayfish expert, but I'm 99% sure it's a mexican dwarf.

It was a wild one imported from Mexico. Thats why it was that pricey. The cray is about 2 inches just body. But the claws are just enormous for his size.. Thank you

You're welcome
If he's that size already I wouldn't expect him to get any bigger. Enjoy the new purchase. I used to have one and I found him pretty entertaining.
