The Blue Pearl Crayfish is active and curious in my 20-gallon tank. It adapts well to the water parameters and shows no signs of aggression. I appreciate the clear labeling and the legal warning note, which helped me avoid potential issues with local regulations.

This crayfish is a great addition to a freshwater setup. It’s hardy and interesting to watch. I’ve kept it for over six months and it’s still healthy. The shipping was fast and the animal arrived in good condition.

The tank-bred origin ensures it’s not wild-caught. It’s active during the day and enjoys exploring the tank. I’ve noticed it digs in the substrate and eats algae, which helps with tank maintenance.
