Description
Dwarf Crayfish, also known as, Mini Mexican Lobsters, are fascinating creatures that came to us from central America. They are great for nano tanks and incredibly active. They are found in lakes, streams, rivers, and are 100% aquatic. Unlike the bigger species of crayfish, these little guys are quite peaceful and can be kept with other aquarium inhabitants. Their small size makes it difficult for them to catch/hunt fish, but be careful if you keep shrimp in the same tank. They can become an easy target if your crayfish gets hungry.
