{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Raising Crayfish

had five 10 gallon tanks going once as part of a science experiment on pH levels and crayfish... 

simple gravel + 4-6 inches of water + aerator.  some other rocks can help aesthetically.  They eat almost anything. regular fish food works.. so do table scraps.  Depends how big they are but i had five 2-3" crayfish in each tank. 

side note-  tho hardly a real study, found that crayfish were surprisingly immune to low pH levels. didn't study long term population or reproductive impact, but no change in weight/growth patterns down to a pH of 4.0

After reading the most recent issue of  "A Tight Loop," I just had a bright idea. As the title says, I want to raise a crayfish. We already own a little ten gallon Freshwater tank. No, I'm not planning to clear this with the wife. I bet it takes her 3 days to notice its presence if she doesn't see me put it in. 

So, anyone have any experience doing this? I'm of course doing my research on the internet right now, so i'll save the practical questions. 

Clever name ideas welcome....
