Hello
I am looking to get a electric blue crayfish, i have a 105 litter tank according to goggle they need a 114 litter minimum. I have been doing some research and found people have them in smaller tanks, so my question is would a 105 litter fish tank be ok for a crayfish?

all response are welcome
 
What are the tank dimensions (length x width x height)?

A tank that is 3 foot or longer should be fine for crayfish that grow to 6 inches long. Bigger tanks for bigger crayfish.
 
It seems the maths speaks for itself.

1 x 6 inch/15 cm crayfish needs a tank at least 36 inches/90 cm long.
Your tank is 76 cm, which is not big enough for a 15 cm crayfish.
The crayfish you want grows to 28 cm, almost twice 15 cm, so it needs a tank longer than 90 cm. Your tank is 76 cm.
 
ok thanks i do also have a 450 litter fish tank which has a community in, will have to look at setting up a shrimp colony instead.
