Crayfish to be added to a 10 gl. Would it be safe?

Posted on September 5, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

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.

do freshwater shrimp need to have constant bubbles to add oxygen in their water?

i have a betta fish and i was thinking about getting him a shrimp as a tankmate, but i’m at college and during breaks i’m taking him home to stay in a little bowl until I come back and put him in his tank. So would my shrimp be able to stay the bowl or would I have to leave him at college? I wouldn’t be able to feed him then, but there are plants and roots for him to nibble on.
Is it doable? Should I forget the whole thing? Any suggestions?
oh my tank my betta is in already has an air pump in it. it all came together in a betta kit. it’s not good for the betta?
