Crayfish originate from Australia and they are freshwater invertebrates. Most people call them 'blue lobster' and 'yabby'

There are many species within the Crayfish community. These beautiful creatures are hardy and can live to up to five years. Crayfish is much sought after as aquarium pets due to their fancy varieties and brilliant color.

How do you select healthy Crayfish?

You have to avoid shops where they kept all the Crayfish in overcrowded tanks with very little wa...

This by no means is conclusive as it will depend on the type of carbon filter you use and I am not going to give detail on every different type and simply generalise on the subject. I suggest that you check with the manufacturer of your filter first and then treat your water appropriately.

Activated carbon filters remove some and reduce many volatile organic chemicals (VOC), pesticides and herbicides, as well as chlorine, benzene, trihalomethane (THM) compounds, radon, solve...

The best way to think of water is just like the air we breath right. But how ever long it takes air to change through our influence, multiply that by 100+. Think of heat for example. When your place is too cold, turn the heater on or light a fire on the lounge floor (depending how desperate you are) and it is warming up nicely within the hour. Lets take water in the same volume as your house and try to heat it up in an hour.

So yes testing testing testing testing testing testing before ...

All species of Crayfish require clean, well oxygenated water. The water must be circulated with a good filter or air stone of some kind at all times. Crayfish will drown in stationary water in 6 hours due to the fact that oxygen will settle to the top of the water column out of their reach. Water parameters should be Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates <=10

North American Crayfish due best in waters between 60F & 75F with 72F being optimal. Australian Crayfish are generally the same with th...

O2 is only one of the gasses we deal with in water (H2O). There are a multitude of dissolved nutrients, chemicals, solids and gases. Individually they are important but it is their combined interactions that tell us if the water in the system is ideal for Crayfish or any aquatic life at all.

Controlling the dissolved gasses is one of the most important parts of water treatment and quality. The four principal gases dissolved in water are, Oxygen (O2), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen (N2) ...
