So, I´ve found out what my crayfish is; a Cherax Destructor. Are there anyone of you who has one? And some catfish with it? I want to buy some kind of catfish, but not sure what would be suitable.

I briefly kept a crayfish in a tank with a Leiarius longibarbis catfish. They are not really very suitable tank mates -- the crayfish kept chopping off the catfishes barbels.

I've got three Cherax quadricarinatus that are about 15 cm (not counting the claws.)

there are a zillion guppies AND an Ancistrus cf temmincki in with them!

On the other hand, I've tried to put in an Axolotl, and had to rescue it, aftyer the lobsters pulled off fingers, gills and tailpieces......

If you would combine it with any cat it should be fast, highly mobile and active around the clock. attitude and dispoasition and armour help too.

Noxious Pleco's, Syno's and some Pims, as well as various Bagrids (Leiocassis/pseudomystus; Mystus leucophasis etc) should be safe.

I would NOT combine them with Doradids, Callichthydae, Shovelnoses or similar fish, however!

Thanx. That´s a lot of suggestions Great! I´ll look them all up.
