Aquarium crayfish have a varied color palette. There are blue, red, brown, spotted and even white representatives. Differences are observed only in the appearance and size of the crayfish, and the care for them is almost always the same.
Instructions
Step 1
Aquarium crayfish are individualists. They live alone. Moreover, even fellows are not allowed into their territory. Crayfish occupy houses, places under driftwood, or dig holes in gravel. When water vibrations or shadows appear, the aquarium guards immediately take a defensive posture, lifting their claws up.
Step 2
Aquarium crayfish often float to the surface of the water. This fact should be borne in mind when equipping the aquarium - its lid must always be closed. Otherwise, cancer can easily escape. These representatives of the underwater world come to the surface for several reasons - water pollution, constant attacks by rivals, or simply an interest in the environment.
Step 3
The main food for cancer is molluscs, tadpoles, worms, larvae and insects. During molting and reproduction, crayfish consume a double food rate. Plant food is also no exception, crayfish eat algae with pleasure, as well as food intended for aquarium fish.
Step 4
Aquarium crayfish is not only a decorative decoration of the home underwater world, but also an assistant. Every day, he examines the territory and eats all kinds of food leftovers, thereby performing the so-called cleaning.
Step 5
You can diversify the diet of cancer with dry tree leaves. In no case should you put fresh foliage in the aquarium. For cancers, not only will it not be beneficial, but it can also have a detrimental effect on health. This is due to the release of a large amount of toxins into the water.
Step 6
If a crayfish lives in an aquarium, then the proximity of bottom fish should be excluded. Otherwise, the inhabitants of the bottom will be regarded as enemies encroaching on the food and shelter of the cancer.
