so crayfish is on the menu?

[jetajockey]

I wouldn't put any fish in there. That amount of water volume is under 2 gallons.

 

[allaboutfish]

actually im gonna make it
22 by 12 by 6
will that be enough for
6-longfin white cloud mountain minnows and
6-gold white clouds plus the crayfish.

 

[jetajockey]

not a chance. since you are basically changing this into a paludarium, your stocking needs to be based on the new water volume.

22x12x6 gives you around 6 gallons to work with, that'd be fine for some nanos like I mentioned in your other thread.

 

[allaboutfish]

but wouldnt they be easily eatin?

 

[jetajockey]

I didn't assume the crayfish would be in there.

Yes, probably, even less area for them to get away.

 

[allaboutfish]

would that be ok for just the crayfish and some shrimp and snails?

 

[jetajockey]

a crayfish will probably eat the shrimp. I'm not sure about dwarf crays, I think they are ok but IDK. The cray really limits your stocking options, and cutting down the water volume to 1/4 limits it even more.

 

[allaboutfish]

maybe just a couple of snails then.

 

[jetajockey]

I don't even know how they are with snails. I have not kept the two together. I have kept red claw macro shrimp and I would move them into tanks that had a pest snail issue and they'd resolve it in a few weeks.

Hopefully someone with more experience with crays can chime in.

shrimp do better with crays than snails.

 

[allaboutfish]

so would ghost shrimp be ok? this will probably actually be full water since i think im getting a cobalt blue lobster.

 

[alLexX]

ghost shrimp might be eaten,but would probaby be ok.
