However, right now he only has one claw because the Oscar tried to make a lunch out of him. Make sure to buy a big one and have plenty of hiding spots. Barb

But back on subject, it is a bit risky. If the cichlids are more than a few inches long, they might think of the crawfish as an expensive meal and eat it. Most crustaceans are best kept in a species tank. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

But those crayfish are awesome the bright blue colour, love them.
