Just got in CPO's as well (dwarf orange crayfish) and I have a dwarf blue crayfish as well. Both of those species are safe with shrimp, plants, and fish

You will have to swing by one of these days. tell your old lady congrats for me!

You carry some nice inverts. Isn't shipping shrimp a nightmare?. I would think the most delicate thing to ship.

They actually do really well when packaged correctly. For a high dollar shrimp like the yellow cheek, I insist on Express. Normally I ship my invertebrates priority (ends up being about $6) and have an over 99% live arrival success rate out of about 2000 boxes.

Wow that's a lot of shipments. I would have never thought that so many inverts could be sent regardless of packaing with such success.

I know they dont care for rapid temp swings which is why assumed many would die.

well insulated boxes and hot or cold packs keep things pretty stable

dwarf crays hmm? any pics? my sister-in-law loves crays. and my wife says thank you!

I have blue cambarellus schufeldtii (mexican dwarf blue) and cambarellus patzcuarensis (CPO sp. orange)








Keep in mind these crays are smaller than some adult dwarf shrimp. They can only be kept with small/gentle fish as they are easily killed after molting.
