Most fish and crayfish don't mix well. Crayfish are nocturnal, so they're active at night when most fish are resting. This makes them an easy target, especially for bottom-dwellers that sleep near the substrate.

That being said, if you pair crayfish with large aggressive fish, the tables might ...

I've heard of those Mexican Dwarf Crayfish. I've had crawfish before and they're really delicious. I was just curious if I could add one to my tank since I'm having some today. But I guess it's not a good idea, even with those smaller ones. Like you said, they'll still go after the fish if they get ...

I was just curious about someone's experience with this, hoping to find someone who's tried it before to see how it went.

But will they leave my peacocks alone?

I've got a crawcoastrl today and was thinking of adding a crawfish to my 75 gallon tank. It's currently home to 3 clown loaches, and I'm curious to know if this would be a good idea.

I've tried eco-complete alternatives and wasn't impressed. I used Flourite, which is similar, and after two years, I ended up dumping it in my garden. These substrates don't live up to the nutrient-adding hype - I still had to use liquid and tab fertilizers.

Could you share your water test results? Are you planning on having just plants or a mix of plants and fish? Have you set up a planted tank before, or is this your first time?


I'm planning on keeping fish in this tank as well. I've got some experience with planted tanks - 2 out of my 4 tanks ...

I'm not sure I see the point in combining eco complete with dirt. Eco complete is supposed to provide all the necessary nutrients to the plant roots, so adding dirt seems like overkill to me. Unless, of course, you're looking for a cheaper alternative to buying a second bag of eco complete ...
