I am strongly considering getting a blue crayfish for my 10 gal tank. The current occupants are 3 killifish which have been quarantined long enough for me to put into my main tank, basically allowing me to free up the 10 gal for whatever I want. And the crayfish looks so cool in the store, I think that is the direction I would like to go.
However, will one of these alone produce enough waste to keep the tank cycled? I have one of those corner box filters, nothing very dramatic, but I know crayfish are very sensitive to ammonia/nitrite and so I am wondering if the tank will un-cycle if I put in a crayfish with nothing else.
Anyone have a species tank with these guys who can comment?
