I had 2 of these guys for a really long time, if you have plenty of hiding spaces they will be done, my first one got eaten by a blood red parrot right after he molted, but I didn't have any hiding places. what is your tank set up like?

I had one years ago it didn't stay blue it turned red/brown and they like to try to climb out of the tank

To be honest they don't do well with fish

I agree, the two of them will usually kill each other in the end, the crayfish will eat ANYTHING they catch, but it also depends on tank size and tank mates, mine lived happily together for a few years in a 75 gal

No, that's a beautiful tank, if I were you I would just try to get maybe 2 decent size anubias. I would also try to stick to smaller cichlids

I could be wrong but I've heard cray fish will shred plants?

my cray ate my moss and Anubias

It depends what plants, but yes they can eat them down to nothing in a very short amount of time. They have no problem with fake plants though. Although they do like to do a little redecorating from time to time

I have it in with my guppy/shrimp tank now
