Crayfish are scavengers because they primarily feed on decaying organic matter, which provides them with essential nutrients. Their diet includes dead plants, decomposing animals, and detritus found on the river or lake floor. This scavenging behavior helps recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem, promoting overall environmental health. Additionally, their adaptable feeding habits allow them to thrive in various habitats.

How many guppies a week do crayfish eat?
Without much more information the question can not be answered accurately. Crayfish are scavengers and guppies are not their natural prey. If the crayfish is small enough and your guppies don't have long flowing fins then the guppies may well be too fast for the crayfish to catch. So the answer then would be none. Are you feeding the crays dead guppies? If so I would add one and see how long it takes the crayfish to eat it. Then I would add more and more dead guppies one at a time as the crayfish devours them. As the crayfish grows so it will eat more.
