marbled crayfish question..experienced answer's please..

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a sponge filter on mine, and the tank is always clean. Never really have any messy issues with them. But I also have shrimp in there, so they probably eat everything.

I would take the flower pots and break them in half. They seem to like that better from my experience because it's a more discreet burrow/hole.

An AC110 would be plenty for that tank. No need for 3 filters really.

dude since i cant shake ur hand i'll give u two thumbs up for the advice about the pots..i did them in my 40g then i did it in the 10 that they are in..and guess wat? the one i said that has her tail tucked..she came wondering out and dug herself into one of the clay pots..i switched the decor around where they have to dig for their lil hideouts and they love it more..thanks alot bro you been alot of help..
 
No problem! Marble crays are super easy to care for once you find out what they really like.

And with that advice, give them variety of foods...

algae wafers, shrimp pellets, massivore... I have also given krill and silversides. They thrive with variety. They however, do not like zucchini.
