Note if temperatures are extreme in your area, then you package will be held at your local post office for pickup, we will notify you via e-mail if it is held the day that your crayfish ships. Your crayfish may arrive with one claw but it will grow back during the next molt. Crayfish become territorial after a certain age and naturally become aggressive to each other. These are one of the most colorful freshwater creatures you'll ever find, the notorious Electric Blue Crayfish has to be seen to be believed! The Electric Blue Crayfish is and has been one of our most popular specimens ever since our beginnings. This crayfish is also commonly known as the Electric Blue Freshwater Lobster, though true lobsters do not exist in freshwater. This species originates from the Southeastern United States, but all of our specimens are tank-raised. Like most Procambarus species, the Electric Blue Crayfish reaches maturity very quickly and breeds easily in the aquarium. Though most crayfish are often reclusive by nature, this particular crayfish is very active by comparison and spends plenty of time exploring the floor of the aquarium in search of food. The Electric Blue Crayfish is an omnivorous scavenger and will eat most any meaty or plant-based foods. This animal should not be kept with ornamental live plants, as it will eat them at a surprising rate. As it reaches adulthood, the Electric Blue Crayfish will become relatively territorial, so it may behave aggressively towards other animals in the tank. It is important that ample hiding places such as rockwork, driftwood, or PVC pipes be provided. This is even more crucial when housing multiple crayfish in the same tank. Due to the size and waste production of this crayfish, a minimum 30-gallon, well-filtered aquarium is necessary for one adult. A larger aquarium can house multiple adults of similar size. This is a very hardy animal, but regular water changes are vital to its optimal health. Other bottom-dwelling invertebrates and fish should not be kept with large crayfish. It is possible to keep mid- and upper-level, fast-swimming fish with the Electric Blue Crayfish, but crayfish are opportunistic feeders and will generally eat whatever they can catch. It is a skilled climber, so extra care must be taken to ensure that it does not escape its enclosure. If your crayfish for some reason does not arrive alive, we will only issue a refund or send another crayfish with a picture indicating that the crayfish did not survive the trip. The crayfish must be in the original container that it was shipped in when taking the picture. Thank you.
