Tracyp Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi, I'm new to owning inverts and have recently purchased 10 FRS and put them in with my guppies in my 12 gallon planted tank. I've been looking online and found CPO Orange Dwarf Crayfish and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these guys. I would love to add one to my tank but am unsure if the tank is too small and if it will eat all my FRS. I've read that they can be peaceable enough and not bother anyone else in the tank but it seems for every positive review I read there's one that says the will eat everything. Any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperGuppyGirl Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I have one in a 10G with my cull RCS and it's leaving them alone but would have to say 6 of one half a dozen of the other as for whether it will leave them alone in your tank. My gal ignores shrimp but damn near killed the betta I tried in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince0 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I have 4 of them with cories and endlers and if they catch the endler babies, they will eat them. They beat up on my cories as well. Cool invert though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracyp Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Thanks for all the insight! I think I might just wait to set-up an invert only tank and try them out then. I'd hate to loose any shrimp, it seems of the 10 FRS I put in 2 days ago only 2 are still around? I can't imagine the guppies having mouths big enough to eat them so I don't know where they went. Although I did find one of them molted last night so one of them seems to be happy enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
