Keeping crayfish is fun and interesting, but challenging. I have kept them for years, but they DO need certain conditions, one of the most important being, keeping them IN the tank! They are escape artists and can easily crawl out of an unsecured tank. ALL canopy holes must be sealed with duct tape to keep them in the tank. It's very easy for them to climb the air tubing or filter tube and exit through the canopy openings. You will find them dead the next morning or days later somewhere in your bathroom as they can sense and seek water but never make it. Certain crayfish turn blue when eating commercial foods. I have had this happen, but it's not common. The species I have had this happen with is the native Ohio Rusty crayfish. They have turned from a brilliant cobalt blue to a greenish cobalt. However, this doesn't happen with all of them. The fish I keep are wild native fishes and the crays are from the same river. I keep darters, blunt nose minnows, brindled madtom catfish and spotfin shiners. I never have issues with the crays killing my fish unless they are sickly since they coexist with these fish in the wild. However, tropical fish tend to NOT coexist with crays and do not know the danger. This is why crays aren't a very good critter for the tropical tank. When the lights go out, fish sleep at the bottom, and when the lights go out, crays awaken and hunt. Tropicals don't know this. Natives do. Lastly, yes, crays and lobsters DO regrow limbs, and lobsters cannot live in freshwater, and crayfish cannot live in salt or brackish water. They must have aeration to live in a tank as well. I typically keep 1 cray per 10 gallons and with plenty of hiding places. This gives them their territory.
