[James B]

He would probably eat the fish, it varies from cray to cray but the vast majority of the time they will eat the fish so its not worth the risk .

well you need to keep an eye, but in a malawi set up its the Cray that is most at risk. if you did decide to go ahead you will not be the only one. Crays dont hunt, they are scavengers, so injured ans sick fish are at risk. but you do need a mature tank of fish, and a fairly mature Cray. but it can and does work. but as said above it will depend on the Cray!

will leave it for a while its a fairly new tank maybe in a couple of months i will look at the risks dont want to get the cray killed
