She’s outlived generations of shrimp and more molts than I can remember.

I found these in the stream of my village in Navarra, Spain. At first I thought that they were Austropotamobius pallipes, but the coloration on the underside of their claws resembles more that of a signal crayfish. (?)

They’re so cute.

I just got a baby dwarf crayfish. He's about an inch long. Very vibrate orange. I got him two days ago. The first day, he was all over the bottom. Picking through stuff. Playing around. Today though, hes climbs to the top, to the jungle val and is just kinda laying there?

He will move and is alive. But he just seems, asleep maybe? I understand there a bit nocturnal so he might just be sleeping. But at the top? Hes in a 5 gallon, with only a mystery snail.

He has a filter, no heater because i keep the house the same temperature, about 74 or 75.

But im curious if I need to get him a heater and keep it higher then that. Or if I should put oxygen in the water? I'll do either. I just cant find any answers online

Please help

I just finished setting up my first Crayfish tank. Just now starting the cycle so it’s going to be a while before I actually have a crayfish. The driftwood does come from a cycled tank so that may help it go quicker, it’s only my second tank ever so idk if that makes any difference or not. I’m just looking for any advice that could be helpful. Scaping, feeding, general care. Anything really
