Your welcome.
Your two do seem to not fit the norm, but that could just be for the moment. Nature is funny sometimes... and most of the time when we make observations and then rules, the animal kingdom changes their ways. I always find that fascinating. That's why I will never know everything about everything.

I would like to make a suggestion. I would recommend keeping your crayfish in a bigger enclosure (maybe a 10 gallon?) because the smaller the enclosure, the more drastic the water parameters are. Crustaceans need very good water quality or they could encounter molting issues and die. It's easier to manage the water quality in bigger enclosures. And with a 10 gallon you would only need to do a 10% water change a week or 20% every two weeks.

I just may own one some day, you never know.

It is my job to try to answer every question asked. Although, sometimes I can't find the answer, then I rely on people with the experience with the particular organism. Luckily, for your question there is a lot of information out there. I do tend to stick to scientific facts or experiments, but sometimes that's not possible.

You can feel free to invite whomever you like to check out our site. Just be sure they read the TOS so they know the rules.


Good luck with your little ones.
