I just got my first tank today for breeding mexican dwarf crawfish. I have a few questions about getting the tank set up to the crawfishs liking.
1. is it ok to fill the tank with tap water that I drink out of at my house?
2. is it better to use live plants or plastic ones?
3. If real plants is my best bet what plants do they like?
4. is 2 female and 1 male fine for a 10 gallon tank?
5. Is it ok that I only have one tank or should I get another one for breeding?
6.what is my best option for feeding the crawfish?
7.should I have the tank at 72ish degrees and lower it to 65 when I want them to mate or leave it at 65 for best mating results?
8. after the craw fish are born what are some places to sell them and how old should they be before selling them?
9. I heard that it takes 14-28 days for the babys to begin to hatch is this correct?
10. how often should the tank be cleaned?
Thats it for now if I think of any more questions I will post them.
thanks for any advice you may have for me I really appreciate it.
