The Ghost Crayfish is active and curious. It enjoys exploring the tank and scavenging for food. I’ve kept it for six months and it’s adapted well to the 20-gallon tank with good water parameters. Only issue is it occasionally digs into the substrate, so I added some rocks to limit that behavior.
Hannah Marshall –
It’s a striking color and very lively. I noticed it’s more active at night. I’ve maintained stable water conditions and it hasn’t shown any signs of stress. A bit aggressive when feeding, but manageable with proper tank setup.

The crayfish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting. I’m still learning how to manage its feeding habits. It’s not the most social creature, but it’s a unique addition to the tank.
