hi,

I just bought a few different kind of fish and a crawfish. The guy at the store said that they could all live together. Well within the first day i had a fish die and a few days later another one did. I’ve noticed that the crawfish has been snapping a lot at the other fish and hes grown a little since i’ve gotten him. Is he the cause of my other fish dying? Should I put him in a seperate tank??

I grew up in eastern Virginia in an area just barely above sea level. My front yard was maybe 2-3 feet above sea level. Our low lying ditches would often be filled with water and crawfish could easily be found in the ditches, running streams and in their burrows in my yard which often were marked by the mud towers sometimes 5 to 6 inches high. In the area I grew up in though, we never realized they were good to eat! Now, every year, I enjoy when Popeye’s (Cajun fast food chicken chain) has their seasonal fried crawfish basket, which I am feasting on as I type this. Bit of horseradish sauce on em, and mmm mmm good!

Hey guys..
I live in Madison, WI area, and I really want to keep a crayfish as a pet. Anyone know where I can buy a nice looking crayfish with reasonable price? Or where can I catch them around here?

Hi I own 4 Crawfish 2 boys and 2 girls I feed them crab or fish food every 2 days and they love it. I also clean my tank twice a month. I have notice that they are very aggressive at times and they do love their own space.Not only that but I like to watch them because they are in there own little world. Good luck to all my crawfish buddies…Cammy

Why do crawfish crawl backwards?

I recently became the parent of a crawfish from my daughter’s classroom and it has these fuzzy looking things on it’s back and keeps rubbing it’s legs and head. There are also tiny little creatures that look like the letter “y” all over the aquarium glass. They crawl backwards. Are these babies?
If they are, how do I go about keeping them alive? I change the water about every 2 weeks.

Do you know where I can find live crawfish for consumption in the Fox Cities area or of a restaraunt that prepares them (boiled cajun-style)?
I have lived in the area for over a year and have not found anything other than ordering in bulk online.

My parents have a pond in Wisconsin. We noticed a big mound of mud on the edge of the pond w/ a hole in the center and each night it got bigger or taller and now the hole is closed. Could this be crawfish? Do crawfish live in WI. (Near the Appleton area).

No they do not. Their lifespan is only two years if they live that long, so they mate with several partners and a female can have as many as 12-800 eggs in her ‘berry’ stage. Regards Cahri
