Easy,what can live in a tank with a blue crayfish/lobster?in a 34 uk gallon tank.

Nothing that you're too attached to coz it'll end up as lunch!

 

[Narayan]

Anything you like as long as your not fond of your fish

Seriously though, find some fast moving fish, dont put bottom dwellers in there. Eventually they will meet your Lobster/Crayfish.

Ive heard of people trimming AKA Cutting there pinchers off

 

[Logitech]

You're gonna be spending money on dinner for your lobster, unless you get a fast moving fish or as mwm said, cut their pincers off.

Just break one of the pincers or get large\fast fish

Obviously these people that say cut their claws off have not much exsperience with crayfish. Yeah they grow back, but i dont think you would like having 1 arm. It is painful for them like us most of them die from the pain. So i adivse you not to and ignore these silly people who said otherwise. Who needs a fish when you got a cray, they are so much more active and better to look at.

 

[FishDan]

Yeah, I can't fathom someone suggesting somehow removing one of the pincers. This is an unreal suggestion.

I have heard people using special elastics that keep thier claws closed so they cant harm anything. Just like the big lobsters at the supermarket.

It might be a crazy idea but its humane

 

[samthefishman]

The way i see it, You bought a crayfish.
Why would you wanna do stuff to him so he doesnt kill your fish? it was your choice when you bought him. If you want fish more then him take him back! dont do things to it its dam cruel. If you aint gonna let it live right take it back

 

[xXMrBonesXx]

don't they eat with their claws?, like use them as forks

 

[samthefishman]

to some degree... They use thier claws to catch there food but depending on how big the food is they will use them to eat, e.g. a big fish

Actually, each of their legs has a little claw on the end. As they walk along, theyll sense food with the little hairs on their feet. If they find something interesting, theyll put it in their mouth. If its edible, they eat it, if not, they spit it out (like small pieces of gravel). BTW, my crayfish names are Little Joe, Hannibal, and Plum Creek Charlie (I got him out of the Souris River/Plum Creek).
