I don't keep clawed creatures in with my fish, so I won' tbe of much help, just wanted to say hi!
I googled lobster and crayfish and came up with this fact sheet:

hmm... does it mean there are no freshwater lobster? only salt water lobster and crayfish are freshwater and there are no saltwater crayfish.

guess the shop make some mistake name the crayfish.

i can't see the body,

what i know is my crayfish claw is blue and the body are white, but not that white, and the tail are abit brown with red stripe.. maybe it still not matured yet.
my crayfish are about 4inch big(without the claw)

I have a crayfish in my Oscar tank.
It is getting pretty good sized.
I had it in the planted community tank until it started cutting down all my plants.
Then I moved it to the O tank it wont even mess with the O's...lol
They would kick his butt.
