How much more will my crayfish grow?

[Divis_Julius]

I got my dwarf orange crayfish on Christmas Eve and since then he's molted twice. Once around a week ago, and lastnight. He's grown quite a bit, and I'm wondering how much more he'll grow.

Also, some Black Neon Tetras got ich and were removed the second I noticed. He has a few white dots on him and was scratching all over just now... could he have ich or is he molting again?

I think he looks close to full size. I think max is either 1 or 2 inches. I do not think inverts can get ich.

2 in. They molt frequently since they are growing fast.

He molted again and is almost 4 inches without whiskers.

A variant that looks very similar?

Definitely NOT CPO! If you paid more than $1-2, you better get a refund or return him to get the right one!

They are cute and funny but...

They will eat your fish! If you have fish in there, CPO is better in a nice community tank.

Not Dwarf...But I just looked it up and Bright Orange Crayfish was going for $24.99 at on online invert site.

I paid $15 but I know it was overpriced because the store scams. No one really has them around here though. I have him with some Cherry Barbs, but I'm actually cycling another tank for them so I can get an African Butterfly Fish in the tank. I figure bottom and top dwelling predators would be good tank mates.

That does look very similar to mine, but no whiskers in the pictures. Mine has quite long whiskers.
