30 Gallon breeder tank/Electric Blue Crayfish

[ShawnKC]

I recently set up a 30 G. breeder tank to house Electric Blue crayfish which is currently cycling. Mixed fine/pea gravel substrate, driftwood and plastic plants (crays are notorious for tearing up live plants), and a couple of slate hides.

Wow. Beautiful tank!

Nice tank! Where did you find that jumbo driftwood? That wood looks huge but a great fit

Thanks, it's actually three pieces of driftwood intertwined. I had to soak them in a 5 gallon bucket for 3 weeks to leech the tannins and get them saturated.

Thank you. I can't wait until it's ready for some inhabitants.

It was well worth it imo

Such a beautiful tank....I really love the slate background

Thanks, that's a 3D foam BG siliconed to the rear glass. I've had it for years originally earmarked for a terrarium and finally got to use it.

It looks so natural. Good job.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting the crays.
