Crayfish feeding question...

[thegrandpoohbah]

Anyone have experience with these guys? I'm not sure how much to feed my 5" cray. I am currently feeding bits of Hikari wafers but the "as much as they can eat in one minute rule" doesn't seem to apply here. Or does it?

The general rule of thumb is any crayfish less than 4" 1 shrimp pellet or commercially avail pellet per day. 5"+ can get 2 one in morning & one at night. Overfeeding crayfish can cause their shell to become weak & also cause bad moults. You should also feed them a variety of foods. They LOVE veggies & will normally go nuts for frozen peas & zuchinni. Stick with the green veggies as they seem to like them more & they don't make a mess of the watter

Thanks Canadiancray! Sadly, I had to get rid of my cray in preparation for moving to Calgary.
