Crayfish
Crayfish (also called crawfish or crawdads) are freshwater crustaceans that look like a small lobster. Crayfish feed on plants, frog eggs, insects, and small fish. Crawfish boils and dishes with crayfish in them are very common in Louisiana. Louisiana supplies about 95% of the crayfish harvested in the US.
500 Questions
Does crayfish live in freshwater?
Asked by Wiki User
Most crayfish can tolerate a small amount of salt, but there are none that I know of that can tolerate full strength seawater. Most can tolerate brackish water for short periods of time, but extended exposure will kill them. They are adapted to freshwater environments, and freshwater is best for them.
Do bears eat crayfish?
Asked by Wiki User
It would be very difficult for a grizzly bear to eat a lobster. Most grizzly bears fish in rivers and creeks. I suppose a grizzly could wander near an ocean, but it would be very difficult for them to find a lobster that is a bottom-dweller. They also would be unsure how to open the lobster to get to the meat.

Would crayfish do well with koi?
Asked by Wiki User
Sometimes fiddler crabs or other crab species are sold for aquariums. Most require brackish or even saltwater. Few thrive in freshwater. Most require live insects, worms, and/or small fish to eat. They can harass or kill other small animals in the tank with them. Many have nasty pinchers. For this reason, they are best suited to a set-up solely for them. Almost all of the crabs sold for "freshwater" tanks require a haul-out spot. The water level must be low enough to allow them to get in and out of the water with ease. If denied the ability to get out of the water, they will eventually die. They most likely also require full spectrum lighting over the basking site but studies probably have not been done on this. Fiddler crabs and similar species stay relatively small, at a few inches in size.
