The insects of the underwater world, fascinating little buggers, and quite smart for their size. They probably even dream when they sleep, because they actually have a similar wave patterns as we have, when in REM sleep. As with all animals, all species differ from the others, one is more aggressive than the other, but even then, there are always individuals that are exeptions to the general description of their own species, and it is always very funny to see a much bigger crayfish being scared away by a much smaller but much more assertive little fellow crayfish. I just love them, they are fascinating! Clumsy swimmers, unlike the elegant waterdance of the shrimps, but unbeatably fast moving when spooked! They are like cats: very curious, but extremely cautious, cowardly cautious lol... they need to investigate everything they see, but anything that moves too fast or comes too close and they jump around like grasshoppers, all over the place, but backwards 🤣
Mine has two favorite spots. He either sits in the mangrove roots to keep the big goldfish away, or he climbs the lucky bamboo near the filter to hang out and scavenge anything that makes its way through. Hardly ever hides in his pot unless it's feeding time for the fish
i got 2 crayfish, ive trained them to be hand friendly. i put my hands in the tank and they will come up and think i got food and im able to let them sit on my hand.
@@slaphazard5698 they're in a 45 gal bow front aquarium female is very well hidden and shes left alone oddly...usually they patrol every cm of the tank daily but the preggers got nook tucked away and Ive purposely lower flowrate in "powerfilter" and skipped the change due as to not disturb her..cuz everything in the tank obv gets anxious during the changes as well as water chemistry etc etc so i been just observant shes been preg for a lil bit and im nervous if i touch her it could ruin everything...
My crayfish is cleaning a lot under his tail and then walking around with it curled under...I have only had him for about a week so not sure what this means?
@@slaphazard5698 Ah thanks for such a speedy reply...He's a male as far as I'm aware and has been in a tank without any other crayfish, so maybe still a bit shy bless him 💗 Is there anything I can do to help him feel more at home? He's got lots of places to hide and I let him have his space...Maybe he just needs a bit of time to adjust 🤔
when 1 was 11 (now 15) I killed my male crown tail betta by putting a crayfish into a tank. I cried for Half an hour for the dead betta splendens. So Guys keep bettas and crayfish seperate, just like keeping 2 bettas seperate.
They ARE lobsters. Actually the lobster is the salt water version, and everything that grows in salt water grows bigger than their freshwater peers. The crayfish is the freshwater version of the lobster. There's also freshwater shrimps, crabs and pill bugs, but the saltwater versions can grow huge, whereas the freshwater versions are smaller. But they are just as much fun, and way easier to care for 😊
Actually, the comparison to whiskers is excellent because just as for cats, these long appendages are very touch sensitive, so yeah, and since crayfish are very cute animals, I'd say whiskers sounds just fine even though it may not be the correct term 😊

I feed mine huge-live night crawlers, you should see them battle; it's like an old Godzilla movie 😂.
record them for me bro,i would love to see that go viral😂
I think the drawing of their anatomy was the most helpful part. Thank you
The sound effect after the crayfish get spooked made me laugh more than it should have

This is well done, makes me laugh every time.
Smart and witty video ❤😂🎉👍🏼👍🏼 good job! Keep it up!
😂I can't say I didn't learn more than I did by watching some this morning I never realized were right there,helpful video👍

Kinda cool how you play with crayfish inside a kiddie pool, look like a cool pet though
You've changed my life. LMAO ❤😂
I currently have a preggo "maadbahg" lol the one with the bigger pinchy things is a happy papa stancing on my aquarium structures any advice?
If you have one that has eggs, it's best to get it in its own aquarium, that way no one decides to eat the eggos.

@@slaphazard5698 so add more eggos so the others dont get eaten? Buttermilk orrr?
sending this to my Bio teacher, we just dissected some of these last month

If it's a male, he's probably just nervous and getting used to the tank. If it's a female she might have eggs.

@@slaphazard5698 he's also dug a big ditch in the middle of the tank...Don't know if that info helps? 😆
@@CharlieHouse If he's a male I would say he's just getting used to the tank. Make sure it's not too cold, and has plenty of oxygen.
thanks, Larry the blue crayfish (my pet) thanks you a lot!!
Can i keep 2 crayfish together
👍

FEED THEM MEAT!
Fortunately, morsels of carrot were only part of their diet. They also had a variety of fish and choice meats to choose from
@@slaphazard5698 good to know
thats exactly the sound effect my cray make when I meet eye contact with them
Good video
Oh I found one yesterday wile camping I went a hike came back found out while
I was gone someone we were camping with stabbed even tho it was mine
what are those things moving in front of its mouth really fast?
Those would be either maxillae or maxillipeds - they hold food while eating and push water over the gills
SlapHazard They’re cute lol.
funny!

They resemble small Lobsters 🦞

@@jmgalaxytab2325 Oh.
Crayfish don’t have whiskers they have antenna
Next you're gonna say that "pinchy things" are actually called "claws" 😂
