Aquatic Arts 1 Male White Specter | Live Freshwater Aquarium Lobster / Crawfish / Crawdad / Real Living Fish Tank Pet

The White Specter Crayfish is a beautiful white variant of the Electric Blue Crayfish species (Procambarus alleni). This crayfish is also commonly known as the Vanilla Crawfish or Vanilla Lobster, though true lobsters do not exist in freshwater. This species originates from the Southeastern United States, but all of our specimens are tank-raised! Though most crayfish are often reclusive by nature, this particular crayfish is very active and spends plenty of time exploring the aquarium floor. They will eat most any meat or -based foods, and they may also eat live s. As it matures, this crayfish may behave aggressively towards other animals in the tank. It is important to provide hiding places, such as PVC pipes or other sorts of containers with openings. This is even more crucial when housing multiple crayfish in the same tank. Due to the size of this crayfish, a minimum 30-gallon, well-filtered aquarium is necessary for one adult. A larger wall aquarium can house multiple adults of similar size. Basic aquarium gear and media is required, especially a filter (ideally with a pre filter). This is a very hardy animal, but regular water changing is vital to its optimal . Other bottom-dwelling animals should be avoided. Crayfish will typically eat whatever they can catch, but since they are slow moving, they are not often able to harm fast-swimming fish (such as Hatchet Fish, Celestial Pearl Danios, etc).
