eshwater blue crayfish (Electric Blue Crayfish) in an aquarium are omnivores and need a varied diet. They should be fed a mix of sinking pellets, fresh vegetables like blanched zucchini, spinach, or carrots, and protein sources like bloodworms, brine shrimp, or small bits of cooked fish or shrimp. It's also important to supplement their diet with calcium-rich foods like crushed eggshells or cuttlebone to support healthy exoskeleton growth

  • Sinking Pellets:
    These are a convenient and balanced way to provide essential nutrients, especially those formulated for crayfish or shrimp. 
  • Vegetables:
    Blanched vegetables, like zucchini, carrots, and spinach, are good additions, and help wear down their constantly growing teeth. 
  • Protein Sources:
    Provide small amounts of protein sources like bloodworms, brine shrimp, cooked fish, or shrimp. 
  • Calcium:
    Crayfish need calcium for their exoskeletons. Crushed eggshells or cuttlebone can be provided. 
  • Feeding:
    Feed in moderation to avoid overfeeding, which can lead to poor water quality.
