Hey y'all,
My friend recently donated his pet crayfish (3 inches long) to me. It is an asexually reproducing marble crayfish so I wanted to keep it. He keeps it in one of those plastic betta cups that you find in Petco/Petsmart, but I want to rehome this crayfish into one of my tanks. I am currently deciding which tank I should put the crayfish in.
Here are my 2 choices:
A) 29 gallon tank. Stocking: Female convict cichlid, grow-out Mbuna (that I will remove later), 4 Serpae tetras, rainbow shark, swordtail, clown pleco.
-Pros: large tank, more peaceful fish than my 10 gallon (option B)
-Cons: may eat Serpae tetras? (I don't know, since the crayfish is 3 inches long), and maybe Convict will attack it
B) 10 gallon quarantine/isolation tank. Stocking: 1 4 inch Demasoni cichlid (I'm holding him there because he was too aggressive for my 75). 3 inch rubber lip pleco
-Pros: Crayfish will not eat other fish in there
-Cons: Demasoni cichlid may attack the crayfish
So which tank should I put it in? Thanks
