Where can I get Crayfish and shell critters?
I was wondering where a good place is online to order crayfish or any other shelled critters for my fahaka. My lfs's in the area don't carry them and neither do the bait shops. I was just curious where you guys get your feeders. Thanks

Yes I would like to know the same, as around my house I can't find them. My puffers don't really eat snails.

Riddle:
Think outside of the box a little bit... dog's like meat, but you can't usually buy steak in a pet store, so you get it at a_________________ store. Puffers like crustaceans but sometimes you can't them get at a pet store you get them at a _____________ store.
Hope this helps a little.

Jared, thanks for the reply. I get where you were going with the "riddle" but like I said there are no stores around me that sell them, bait shops, grocery or any other. Thanks anyway though.

Your grocery stores don't have a seafood section with all sorts of goodies?

They do but nothing like live crayfish. What else would you suggest? I can get shrimp no problem but that wont keep his break down. I need some "crunchy" foods for him. Snails as you know dont really last or fill him up. Thanks again.

Shrimp, oyster, crab legs, mussells, squid, clam, etc--all are good & found in your grocery store.

I just ordered 100 Live Fiddler Crabs from this wildlife research company.

I will put them in a 30 gallon tank with some 6" thick sand for them to bury also.
Definately worth the price!

Re: Where can I get Crayfish and shell critters?
I get my sea food at the grocery store and crayfish at the LFS. Ordering online, that I have found, you have to order pounds of them and that is not very convenient for some....unless you eat them too.

Re: Where can I get Crayfish and shell critters?
I'd say it would be better to fill the tank up only 1/2 way with water and slope the sand strongly, I think they do best when they can emerge from the water.
