The very rare Ghost Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) features ethereal red, white, and blue colors that look magnificent under an LED lightbulb or marine aquarium light.
Each farm raised crawfish ships as a 1 to 2 inch long young adult that will grow up to 5 - 6 in. It WILL NOT have its bright color at this young age, but the colors WILL brighten up as it matures.
Crayfish are a threat to most aquarium animals (e.g. dwarf shrimp), but can be kept with some fast moving fish. They may eat or damage lots of plants, but typically leave Marimo Moss Balls alone.
This listing is for 1 unsexed B grade young adult crayfish - a specimen that is missing a claw or one or more legs. Lost appendages will regenerate within 1 to 2 molts (about 2 to 3 months).

The Ghost Crayfish (a very rare color morph of Procambarus clarkii) is arguably the most beautiful freshwater crayfish available anywhere in the world! The buzz surrounding this crayfish is due to its incredible red, white, and blue coloration. We ship these out as 2+ inch young adults that already include those colors, but they may increase or brighten as the crayfish matures. This crayfish will eat almost any meat or plant-based foods, and it often eats aquatic plants. As it grows, the Ghost Crayfish may behave aggressively towards other animals. It is important to provide ample hiding places, such as a PVC pipe assortment. Large crayfish require an aquarium filter (e.g. bio wheel filter) to keep the tank water clear. An aquarium pump is also a must, e.g. an aquarium sump pump with a return pump and overflow box. This is a very hardy animal, but regular water changes are vital to its health. Other bottom- dwelling invertebrates (e.g. eating snails) and fish should not be kept with large crayfish. It is possible to keep mid- and upper-level, fast-swimming fish with the Ghost Crayfish (such as Guppies, Endlers, and Mollies), but crayfish are opportunistic feeders and will generally eat whatever they can catch. All of our "B-Grade" crayfish are simply specimens that are missing legs or claws that we offer at an extra discounted price. Loss of limbs is not permanent and happens very commonly with crustaceans. They are very healthy, of great quality, and will completely regenerate lost appendages within 1 to 2 molts (about 2 to 3 months).
