Is a crayfish a carnivore or a detritivore?

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!
