Crawfish x Mollies?

[TO KYO]

I just caught this fresh water crawfish and I was wondering about their diet? Can I add it to my Molly tank would is it going to eat my Mollies?

How big is it? How big are your mollies? What sized tank?

Crawfish seem like 2-6” and my mollies are 1.8-3”

Its possible he may kill the smaller mollies but I'm not sure

The crayfish I caught years ago was a savager and he would eat whatever was laying on the bottom of the tank. I caught him using chicken liver tied to a string. As a kid I would go fishing for crabs (locally called crabben) I had minnows in the tank with him but he never went after them. I let him go after a few months.

I personally wouldn't trust crayfish with any type of fish.

All freshwater crayfish/ crawfish are general nocturnal scavengers and will eat anything from plants to fish, and they do catch fish at night so keep the crayfish in it's own tank.
