Only if you're using the RCS to feed the Crayfish

I was wondering that also i thought maybe when the crayfish was small it would be fine but after a while it is all you can eat

There is a small Crayfish called a CPO (Orange Dwarf Crayfish) that can be kept successfully with RCS. You may have some casualties though.

What about the little mud crabs

Hmmmm I'm not sure what you mean by mud crabs. Sorry. Maybe you mean Fiddler Crabs? Those won't really work as Fiddlers need brackish and require some area to be out of water. Sorry

Shrimp are awesome. Ghost shrimp are the only ones I have owned.. Cheryl shrimp get kind of expensive and are hard to find around here... Anyway good luck. Posts some pics after.

Some Tetras do ok with Shrimp, but some are quite predatory. Ghost and Amano Shrimp are both larger and may do ok with small fish.

RCS and CRS should only be with Otos if you want to breed them. If you don't care they can live with Nano fish like CPDs ( Celestial Pearl Danios) BUT you will lose some babies. The adults will be fine and out and about.

If you keep tiny Shrimp with larger fish with plenty of places to hide , some May survive, but they will tend to hide all the time.

Otos and Threadfin Rainbows both seem pretty Shrimp safe. I have both in my tank.
