Hi everyone,

I'm new to aquariums. I have a 3.7 gallon fish tank in my office with a little Mexican crayfish. Is there anything else I can put in there with him? I tried shrimp but I think he ate them :( Thanks!

Hi unfortunately crayfish can be nasty and attack anything they can catch. He's fine by himself.
 
Very true. They are little predators. They don't like friends.
 
Is it a dwarf Mexican crayfish? You could get away with 1 nerite probably but your tank would need to have algae and you’d have to boil spinach and feed it to the snail.
 
How big does it get? I’ve read about dwarf crayfish taking out cichlids so I kinda doubt snails would last long especially if it gets a little bigger. In general yeah... crayfish don’t like friends. Or they do.... very much... they think friends are yummy.
