How fat and happy do you want your crayfish to be? ^^</P><P>And the other answer is no. No no, nononono, no no no, nono no.</P><P>Crayfish are predators. They'll even eat their own kind if they get the chance. Shrimp will be eaten in a heartbeat; some folks even feed "feeder" shrimp like ghosts to their pet crayfish. </P><P>So straight up, I can't put it much more simply than that. You can't mix the two. Don't try it. With prices on the exotic shrimp these days, you'll be out fifty bucks in a heartbeat and have one grateful crawdaddy. But I doubt you'll be quite as happy.</P><P>Honestly, keeping crayfish drastically limits what you can put in the tank, because they are aggressive predators. They'll eat anything they can get their pincers on - shrimp, mollusks, small live fish, larger live fish, dead things, plant matter, your fingers....</P><P>They should only be kept with larger fish that can take care of themselves, or not at all.Sun, 17 Aug 2008 08:30:31 GMTNikitahttp://www.aquariumfish.com/aquariumfish/board/Topic153410-31-1.aspxI was wondering if I could keep some shrimp in my crayfish tank ? What would I need to do that ?Sun, 17 Aug 2008 06:51:43 GMTCephalopodLover
