Crayfish, like most crustaceans, are scavengers and are not very picky
about what they will eat. Since they live on the bottom of bodies of water
(like streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, etc.), they have to make a diet out
of what they find there. What do you think a crayfish might find to eat in
such places? Well, from your experience with your two minnows, you already
know they will eat fish. In fact, crayfish will only eat certain kinds of
fish, if they can catch them! Crayfish will also eat shrimp if they're
around. Since there in usually lots of plant life on the bottom of water
bodies, crayfish will also eat a wide variety of plants. In fact, crayfish
will eat some plants that no other animal will eat!
Crayfish (also known as crawfish or crawdads) will eat both dead and living material. Crayfish will eat both plants and animals.
Carnivores eat meat.
Detritivores eat dead plants and animals.
Therefore, a crayfish is both a carnivore and a detritivore.

Yes. Frogs will eat just about anything that fits into their mouths. Fish, smaller frogs, insects, tadpoles (which are young frogs) and some types (pacmans for one) will even eat mice.
Tadpoles are not a normal part of a turtle's diet but I wouldn't put a big turtle in with tadpoles because they could eat them if they were the only thing available.
No, they're omnivores.
no!
I've never heard of a 'clayfish', but a crayfish is a detritivore.
Crayfish are omnivores, meaning they are both an herbivore and a carnivore.
Detrivot
The purple frog is a carnivore! It is usually underground so it eats things underground. Its' diet consists of termites mostly, but occasionally worms and ants.
A crayfish is an omnivore. An omnivore is an animal which eats both plants and animals. (Compared to a carnivore or herbivore which consumes both)
I've never heard of a 'clayfish', but a crayfish is a detritivore.
Crayfish are omnivores, meaning they are both an herbivore and a carnivore.
yes because it eats other animals for food
Crickets are not decomposers. They are consumers.
nope. it is indeed a omnivor
Detrivot
herbivore/omnivore
The purple frog is a carnivore! It is usually underground so it eats things underground. Its' diet consists of termites mostly, but occasionally worms and ants.
A crayfish is an omnivore. An omnivore is an animal which eats both plants and animals. (Compared to a carnivore or herbivore which consumes both)
An herbivore eats plants. Something that eats meat is a carnivore.
Trout are carnivores. They eat worms, insects, crayfish and smaller fish.
No, A lobsters is not an herbivore. It is a carnivore this means that it eats other animals, and animal matter.
