Tony and Chewy are not fighting for once. Both eating blood worms in peace.

Suddenly hell bent on escaping?

Posted: 23 Sep 2019 10:22 AM PDT

I've had 3 wild caught crawfish living in overall harmony in a 10 gal tank for around a month. Yesterday I did a 25% water change and filter change and rearranged their scenery. They were agitated afterwards but that seems typical of prior tank adjustments so I figured they'd mellow out after a little while, but today they keep climbing up bubbler tubing and the walls acting like they want the F out. The water parameters aren't any different... What gives? The tank is filtered and aerated with a bubbler. They have more than enough hidey holes and seemed relatively content before.

I did catch my snails banging yesterday. Maybe gastropod sex just grosses them out idk.

Unidentified Microorganisms

Posted: 23 Sep 2019 05:54 PM PDT

Hey all, hoping you can help me identify some unidentified microorganisms and let me know if they are a problem or not. I plan on giving the tank one more big gravel cleaning and using the water between two tanks; a 20 gal for my blue crayfish, and a 29 gal for my apple snails that just bred and a community of fishies eventually. I already know I have detritus worms which are actually beneficial; my concern is the tiny white specks all over. I think they might be rotifers? I have already determined they aren't baby planaria so a sigh of relief. Sorry for the cloudy nature of the tank (though that aided in seeing them), I just did a big cleaning and literally just learned how to do proper cleanings and what aquarium filters actually do.

Some info on the creatures:
1.) Tiny and white, can make out no detail with the naked eye except they are shaped kind of like cumin seeds or tiny silverfish with no legs and are smaller than a pinhead. In the video, I can sometimes see two antenna-like things on its front.

2.) They like to crawl on the glass, and are super fast. Sometimes they let go and are swept by the current only to reattach to the glass. Interesting behavior.

3.) I have seen some of the "bigger" ones try to chase or "nip?" at the smaller ones. not sure if they are trying to identify them, communicate with them or eat them.

​

Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

Best equipment for and place to get a pet?

Posted: 23 Sep 2019 11:10 AM PDT

Several years ago I had multiple tanks with crayfish in them. It started when I found one in he parking lot at work, I took him home and put it in a 1 gallon container but quickly moved to a 10 gallon when I learned more about them.

I wasn't sure if they needed to be out of the water so only half the tank was submergible and the rest was "land" Unfortunately just a few weeks later he died of what I assume was some kind of fungus

After that I got out my 20 gallon (set up about the same) and picked up a dude from a friend before a boil. A coworker gave me one she found so I put it back in the 10 gallon. The big guy lived for about 6 months and the little one vanished after a week.

Anyways I've been wanting to get another one but actually take my time and do it right. So I was wondering what the best setup is for a single pet crawfish? I'd prefer to stay in the smaller range as I don't have room for a large tank. What do y'all use in your tanks? (Filtration, decor, food, etc) and where is the best place to obtain one? I don't care to have a fancy morph or whatever so I'd be happy to get another "feeder" but I'm not sure how likely they are to do well as pets.

Thanks for the read and any suggestions!!!!
