marbled crays and betta
BCgirl asked me earlier and I think it wont work but I figured Id ask cause I would like to do it. Can a Betta go in with some Marbled Crays? Or will they pick him apart? It will be in a 55 if that matters

Nonononono!!!!!!!!! Not with those fins, absolutely not a good plan! o.0
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Re: marbled crays and betta
We keep swordtails with our marbled crays. And a couple platys. The fish are quick enough & I've never noticed any signs of them being pinched or anything by the crays.

Re: marbled crays and betta
Neons would probably be ok. They'll stay near the top, away from the crays...and if one gets caught, they're not super expensive to replace. The only fish we've lost to crays are bottom dwelling, slightly bossy cichlids.

Re: marbled crays and betta
We have had good results keeping fish with them. The fish seem to pick up the food the crays don't find. Water quality has been better since we overhauled the cray tanks and added fish. Keep in mind this advice is for marbled (self cloning) crays. They are quite a bit more peacefull than some of the other species. We have lost a few fish to florida crays and especially Procambrous Clarkii.
