Crayfish (also known as crawfish, crawdads, or freshwater lobsters) are freshwater crustaceans that resemble small lobsters. Here’s a quick overview:

🦞 Crayfish Basics

• Scientific Order: Decapoda

• Habitat: Freshwater bodies like streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds

• Distribution: Found across North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa

• Size: Typically 3–6 inches long, though some species grow larger

• Diet: Omnivorous — they eat plants, insects, small fish, and detritus

• Lifespan: 2–3 years (on average), but some species live longer

🌈 Purple Crayfish?

While crayfish are commonly brown, green, or red, purple crayfish do exist. Some notable ones:

• Cherax pulcher (“beautiful crayfish”): Native to Indonesia; has vivid blue to purple coloring.

• Cherax destructor: Some morphs bred in captivity can have purplish hues.

• Selective breeding in aquariums has produced crayfish with unique colors including purple, pink, and even electric blue.

🐠 Crayfish as Pets

• Crayfish are popular in aquariums but can be aggressive and territorial.

• Need hiding spots and clean, oxygen-rich water.

• Species like Procambarus clarkii or Cherax species are often kept in home tanks.
