Red cray fish (2 pair)

Red Crayfish is a striking freshwater crustacean prized for its vivid red to deep scarlet coloration. Depending on the species or selectively bred variety, size and behavior can vary.

• Type: Freshwater crayfish
• Color: Bright red, scarlet, or reddish-orange
• Adult size: Varies by species; commonly 8–15 cm
• Temperament: Territorial and opportunistic
• Water temperature: Around 20–28°C, depending on species
• pH: Approximately 6.5–8.0
• Diet: Sinking pellets, vegetables, algae wafers, and occasional protein-rich foods
• Aquarium: Provide plenty of hiding places using rocks, caves, driftwood, or PVC shelters
• Tankmates: Best kept with carefully selected, fast-moving fish; it may catch slow fish, shrimp, or snails.
• Molting: Needs hiding places during molting because the soft new shell leaves it vulnerable.
• Breeding: Females carry eggs underneath the abdomen until the young hatch.

Best feature: Its intense red coloration makes it an eye-catching centerpiece for a dedicated freshwater crayfish aquarium.
