A secure aquarium with a tight-fitting lid is recommended, as crayfish are skilled climbers and can escape through small openings. Provide plenty of hiding spots using rocks, driftwood, or caves to support healthy molting and reduce stress. While Orange Tip Crayfish may coexist with some fast-moving fish, they should not be housed with slow-moving fish, delicate plants, or other small bottom-dwelling invertebrates.

Each crayfish is carefully inspected, health-checked, and professionally packed to help ensure it arrives healthy and ready for its new home.

Please Note: As live animals, coloration, claw size, and markings may vary slightly between individual Orange Tip Crayfish.
