NFC: Re: crayfish tank
I used to raise crayfish in a 20 gallon long tank, my method of keeping them
from fighting was the following:
I housed over 20 crayfish of varying sizes by doing the following.
I used a fine gravel or sand substrate with no plants (crayfish cut them off
at the substrate level)
I then took a piece of 1" PVC pipe and cut it into 8" sections. I cut
approx. 5-10 pieces MORE than there were crayfish in the tank.
I then silicone them together side by side, and then stacked if necessary,
all facing the same direction.
Place in tank, and then watch as the crayfish each take a home. They will
not fight amongst each other and it is easy to view them if you place all
the tubes facing the front of the tank.
