I went to my local Asian market for some fresh vegetables and walked passed this said bucket of dead crayfish and found one moving underneath some of the big ones. Thought it would be cool to give it a new home and a chance to have a new life, let me know what you guys think is a good name for the little tough guy

Name him robert. I dont know why.

What size tank are you going to have him in? He will need live food and a decent amount of space. I doubt he could live with fish

 

[Guppy_cowboy619]

I was gonna but him in my 10 gallon It only have a snail in it or is that too small?

if short term, yes. If for long term its a no no.
They need atleast 20 gallons

 

[trash.binh91]

20 gallons is the minimum tank size.

I mean if you can put him in the 10g for now it would be fine for now.

 

[Guppy_cowboy619]

Yea just for now till I can go get a 20 gallon

I caught a local crayfish and kept him in my 55 gallon for awhile but he was like a bulldozer pushing all the plastic plants around so I returned him to the the creek I caught him it. They do like to hide in caves and such.

If you cant get a bigger tank get a big clear plastic tub from walmart or something. Less than $10
