Aquarium Advice Regular
I have had a marbled crayfish now for about two weeks. She is in a 90 gallon tank. She has been MIA for the past four days now.
Before she disappeared, she had a little cubby set up as her den under part of the wood. Today when I did a water change, I picked up the wood thinking maybe she made her den deeper....not so much. I have looked behind the tank, and under the furniture in the room as the tank and have not seen hide nor hair of her.
Do crayfish burrow in the substrate? Do they hibernate?
She was quite active the first 10 days we had her. She molted and was still very active-eating cucumbers, patrolling the substrate, climbing the driftwood and trying to pull down a frogbit plant.
I have two canister filters and there is no way that she could have gotten into the filter(s). The largest fish in the tank would be the angelfish, keyhole cichlids and a red tailed shark.
Should I be concerned? If she did get out of the tank, how far could she venture from the tank before dying? Should I be looking in other rooms?
tanks!!
