Description:
Orange Dwarf Mexican Crayfish is one of the few crayfish you can keep in a community tank. Why? Because all crayfish are “silent killers”, “cutters” and diggers. They cut tank plants, dig all around the tank bottom and kill fishes. However, Orange Dwarf Mexican Crayfish is not like this, but for one simple reason – it is a very small creature.
Dwarf Orange Mexican Lobster, also known as Cambarellus Patzcuarensis Orange or CPO crayfish for short, attracts your attention by its fiery orange coloration and active personality. With the appearance resembling a lobster but the size of a shrimp, they can find their comfort in a tank of 5 gallons. As shown in their name, they are naturally found in a few locations in Mexico, usually in small rivers and streams, as well as lakes and ponds. Shallow, slow-moving water with lush plant life are their favorite shelters.
Scientific Name: Cambarellus Patzcuarensis
Common Name: Orange Dwarf Mexican Crayfish, Dwarf Mexican crayfish, Patzcuaro, Mexican dwarf lobster, orange crayfish, dwarf lobster, Mexican lobster, mini crayfish, Orange CPO Crayfish
Unlike other crayfish, Orange Dwarf Mexican Crayfish are quite peaceful and get along well with other peaceful species such as rasboras, rainbowfish, or danios. That said, be careful not to keep CPO crayfish with other dwarf shrimp or slow-moving fish or ones with long flowing fins as they may go after and hurt them. Another plus point is that they are active and do not hide during the day. So, if you choose to keep them, you may occasionally enjoy seeing them around.
