Regular Member sandy Posted April 23, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted April 23, 2005 Hi I had one but it was with tropicals and was always trying to catch them. If you really want one put it in a tropical tank with top and mid swimming fish. Goldies may be too slow and get their fins caught by the claws. I was going to say maybe use bands to tie the claws but can it still eat? I have heard that people take the claws off them, but i think thats cruel and unneccesary.

Regular Member fishies12 Posted April 23, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted April 23, 2005 I would say no. I had a friend who had a crawfish with her fish and it was always eating the tropical fish she had in there, and it would tear the fins of a goldfish she had in there also.

Regular Member Black oranda Posted April 24, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted April 24, 2005 Id say also no, some people actually feed feeder goldies to some of those crawfish ect I wouldn't take the risk, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member daryl Posted April 25, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted April 25, 2005 yup - crayfish eat fish and sometimes, each other. They are not good tank mates for goldfish. They have a learning section in the elementary schools around here that involves crayfish - all the kids are given one and they live in a wading pool in the science room. At the end of the learning segment all the kids take the crayfish home. I usually end up with numerous ones dumped into my swimming pool. Poor little yummy fellas....
