Relatively easy to keep, crays can be fed on small pieces of meat,
worms, small pieces of carrot peel and the occasional piece of green
vegetable matter, such a lettuce leaf, that has had its cell structure
broken by freezing. A clean piece of heavy old wood, perhaps a bit of
redgum , will also be chewed on.
Crays will destroy anything in the tank made of plastic and will
demolish air stones in quick order. A simple solution to this problem
is to silicone a glass panel diagonally across one corner of the tank,
leaving a small gap at the bottom and sufficient clearance at the top to
allow for water flow, and to put any air pipes behind it where the Cray
can't get them. You should always handle them with extreme care as even
quite small Crays are quite capable of removing the top of a finger with
their pincers.
