Like most Procambarus species, the Electric Blue Crayfish reaches maturity very quickly and breeds easily in the aquarium.  In fact, many of our specimens have bred in our tanks at our facility! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough most crayfish are often reclusive by nature, this particular crayfish is very active by comparison and spends plenty of time exploring the floor of the aquarium in search of food.  The Electric Blue Crayfish is an omnivorous scavenger and will eat most any meaty or plant-based foods.  This animal should not be kept with ornamental live plants, as it will eat them at a surprising rate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs it reaches adulthood, the Electric Blue Crayfish will become relatively territorial, so it may behave aggressively towards other animals in the tank.  It is important that ample hiding places such as rockwork, driftwood, or PVC pipes be provided.  This is even more crucial when housing multiple crayfish in the same tank.  Due to the size and waste production of this crayfish, a minimum 30-gallon, well-filtered aquarium is necessary for one adult.  A larger aquarium can house multiple adults of similar size.  This is a very hardy animal, but regular water changes are vital to its optimal health.  Other bottom-dwelling invertebrates and fish should not be kept with large crayfish.  It is possible to keep mid- and upper-level, fast-swimming fish with the Electric Blue Crayfish, but crayfish are opportunistic feeders and will generally eat whatever they can catch. It is a skilled climber, so extra care must be taken to ensure that it does not escape its enclosure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAs with all of our crayfish, the coloration of the Electric Blue Crayfish is EXTREMELY high quality - much higher quality than others on the market!  This crayfish may TEMPORARILY change color and hide more than usual after molting, which may occur during shipping. If your crayfish is not blue and you find a molt in the bag or in your aquarium, do not worry; this is normal and the bright color will return in 2 weeks or less. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat We Like About This Crayfish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBold blue coloration that makes for a wonderful centerpiece to the aquarium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMuch more active than many crayfish species\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExtremely hardy and adaptable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent scavenger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e65°- 76° F (18° - 24° C)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003epH\u003c\/span\u003e: 6.5 - 7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eKH\u003c\/span\u003e: 6 - 15 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMinimum tank size\u003c\/span\u003e: 30 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE GUIDELINES: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/span\u003e: Omnivorous.
