Best Way To Control Algae?
In a ten gallon freshwater tank. Limitations would be that I have a crayfish living in the tank making almost any bottom dwelling fish easy lunch. Mainly, should I get snails, shrimp, or is there something better?

Crayfish to be added to a 10 gl. Would it be safe?
I have a 10 gl freshwater with marine sand bottom, 2 fake coral pieces, a rock arch with fake plants attached and 2 real plants. Also a male betta, columbian zebra pleco, ghost shrimp and MTS. Would it be safe to add a small crayfish? I would purchase this crayfish from a lfs. I have been told that crayfish will eat fish and then I have been told they won’t if the fish is bigger and faster than the cray. So would it be safe for my existing critters to add a tankmate?
Darryl,
I found my columbian at a lfs and they didn’t know what it was so I played dumb too and paid 13.00 for him. LOL I know I stole him.

Is it possible for a frozen crayfish to return to life?
I regularly feed my aquatic turtles, mostly red-eared sliders, frozen meals consisting of freshwater shrimp, crayfish (crawdads), and other assorted items. I keep track of anything and everything I release in the tank but today I noticed a crayfish, a decently sized crayfish, wandering about the tank. I know for a fact I have not released any LIVE crayfish into the tank, only frozen, often dismembered, crayfish as food.
My question is, is it possible that one of these frozen crayfish returned to life having survived months in a freezer? I have attempted to find the survivability conditions of crayfish but have not found any information relating to this event.
Any information regarding this question would be appreciated.
Also, I have named the crayfish “Lucky” but the turtles still see him as food.

i have a blue electric crayfish and its a baby about 1 and half centemeter in size, i heard you can buy krills or freshwater shrimps for the crayfish to “play” with it. Now, by play, does it mean chase or attack? also is it okay to put a baby crayfish with shrimps or krills? shrimps and krills dont attack am i right? i know crayfishes attack and yes im okay with it. im just wondering if my crayfish would get any harm done to itself.
