Crayfish - Paint Your Aquarium Blue With them

Lobster comes from Australia and they are freshwater invertebrates. Most people call them 'blue lobster' them and 'yabby'
There are many species in the community Crayfish. Strong and beautiful creatures can live up to five years. Lobsters are sought after as aquarium pets due to varieties of fancy and brilliant color.
How do you select healthy crayfish?
You have to avoid shops where they keep all the crayfish in overcrowded tanks with very little water. Lobster is likely to become stressed and eventually die under such conditions. Look for lobsters are alive and full of energy. You must also ensure that they have a complete set of limbs. You can test it by lowering your hands to the back. When a healthy lobster flavor of your hand, their natural reaction is to move back and raise both their pincers in a defensive position. If the crayfish simply lie still and not respond to touch you, you can be sure that it's not healthy.
Clamp they used to catch prey and protect themselves. Sometimes you may notice that some lobsters have a clamp that is smaller than most other lobsters in the tank, or they may have a brace that is not the same size. It can be that the smaller pincer is a new addition that grew while replacing the old.
It is a little tricky to catch crayfish. You have to approach it from behind and held the tip of the carapace with both your thumb and forefinger
Lobsters do not like some fish. They are territorial in nature, and so you should not over-stock your tank. So how big should the tank be? Well, 2ft by 1ft will be large enough to keep the lobsters happy.
Lobster likes hiding space. You can place objects in the tank. Objects such as PVC pipes or rocks will be able to provide them a lot of good hiding places.
For aeration, a bubble filter will be fine. And note that the lobster does not need strong lightning and they do not do well in acidic water.
When it comes to eating, it is the easiest! Lobsters eat anything they can find. It can be dirt, unwanted residual, and feeder fish, sinking pellet or just a few shrimp. Anything, everything goes for these creatures. Lobster hunt at night, so turn off the aquarium light before you feed them.Lobsters tend to grow by getting rid of the old shell. They will push themselves out of the old shell through the space directly behind the carapace which will be split. When they shed their shells, they will be covered only by soft tissue. These soft tissues will harden into a new skin after a few days .. And usually, the crayfish will eat the old skin.
