However, they may prey on fish eggs or non-swimming larvae, and will scavenge on dead fish. Additionally, some aquarium hobbyists have claimed that these crayfish will also attempt to devour dwarf shrimp such as cherries. It is absolutely essential to provide them with hiding places when they commence molting, as the new shell is soft, allowing even small fish (or other crayfish) to kill them during this period. Volcanic rock riddled with numerous small holes, or short segments of waterlogged bamboo furnish useful molting refuges. Never keep them with loaches or similar fish that explore nooks and crannies since such fish will devour the crayfish during their molt. |
