Hey everyone!! I have two crayfish in two tanks (was planning to keep both in the same tank but they never stopped fighting). I searched web to check their common details, atleast their general behavior. But had no luck since I can't confirm what types they are (if I found their types I could do some research and read their body language). So my dear friends help me to identify their types.
Type A - An orange/red color, about 2 inch long. Seems pretty aggressive and found eating one of my Malawi electric yellow fish the other day. As I searched on the web I think he is a neon red cray fish. But I'm not sure because there are so many types when it comes to crays. Unlike my other cray fish, this one is very active and I always see he moving around the tank bottom most times.
Type B - Black one with dark blue claw tops and legs. I recently got this one from my LFS. Owner said me even though this one is black now he'll turn in to blue in no time (still doubt this). He is almost black now and yesterday he molted. This one also seems aggressive but I have never seen him chasing other fish, but i found that he killed few of my guppies. I have no idea about this guy's type.
So guys/girls that's my question, please help me to find their types (names would be fine). Then I can do my research. If you want more info to confirm, please let me know. Thanks much!
