Crayfish

[Nix]

mkay, Was at a LFS yesturday and saw I'd guess around 2 inch crayfish for 2 dollars. I was just curious if givin the right enviroment would one be comfortable in a 10gallon? O and 1 more thing what should be the tank temp?

Temperature: 70 - 74 F
And yes a 10 gallon tank would be large enough for a crayfish.

It largely depends on the species. Some of them require no less than 20 gallons. What type are they?

 

[Nix]

No idea, Just labeled crayfish and I don't know a whole lot about them

O and how big of a threat, if any are they to fish?

Again, depends on the species but almost all small fish community or not are possible prey items for a crayfsh.

Check this site out and see if you can identify it.
