Hi

I have a 30 gallon tank that houses the following:
2 angel fish
4 cory cats
2 snails

I have a crawdad that was originally food for an Oscar that I used to have but the O died before he ate the crawdad - The O had HITH for quite a while. Now I have this crawdad. He is little and I would like to put him in my 30 gallon tank but I do not know if he will mess with any of my other fish.

Can anyone give me some advice on this?

Thanks

My crayfish Skit was around two inches when I got him. He ended up as a six inch (counting just his body, mind you, not his claws, which were each larger than my pinkie fingers!) monster in his own 20 gallons long tank. He had managed in that single year to devour many dozens of ghost shrimp, female bettas, killifish, zebra danios, all the live plants he could find, and a striped raphael catfish, which he ate tail-first.

So if you don't like your current tankstock, by all means, add the crawdad. He'll be a fat guy in no time!

"Crawdad" is just a synonym for crawfish/crayfish. They go by different names depending on where you live.

It took me months to figure out what a "yabbie" was (Australian word for crayfish). :lol:
