Additional
Comments
 This crayfish prefers cold water. It likes Current. A gravel substrate with a
power head in the tank is ideal. Some large rocks should be used for caves
and hiding places. They are diggers, and will create their own caves.

They are a fairly aggressive cray and the males will kill each other. 1 Cray
per 20 gallons is a good start.
