I'm sad to tell you that "Snuggles" the Cray Fish has passed after a long, and hopefully happy, life -over 3 years! He was getting slower and white all over and we had not seen him outside of his cave for quite some time. He was still moving when we checked on Monday, but yesterday he didn't move anymore.
He is leaving behind a whole bunch of companion (food) minnows, who may not miss him much after all!
Looking at the future I don't think I want another cray fish, but i don't want a 5g tank with minnows only. I guess that anything else I put in there will use the minnows as food and will quickly disappear... not sure I wish that to the poor minnows either. Besides the tank has never been heated, what would happen if I put a heater now? Would the minnows adapt?
I really don't know what to do.
Suggestions, please and thank you!
