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 are omnivores, meaning they are both an herbivore and a carnivore.
Detrivot
I've never heard of a 'clayfish', but a crayfish is a detritivore.
No, a lugworm is not a carnivore; it is a detritivore. Lugworms primarily feed on organic matter found in the sediment of marine environments, such as decomposing plant and animal material. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by recycling nutrients and aerating the soil as they burrow.
sponge are omnivores or detrivores because they feed on living and dead particles
Crayfish are omnivores, meaning they are both an herbivore and a carnivore.
yes because it eats other animals for food
nope. it is indeed a omnivor
Crickets are not decomposers. They are consumers.

An herbivore eats plants. Something that eats meat is a carnivore.
Trout are carnivores. They eat worms, insects, crayfish and smaller fish.

An earthworm is an omnivore (but more specifically a detritivore as they mainly eat decaying plant matter). It eats whatever material (plant or animal) that it ingests from the soil.
