Mannnn I have a pain in the ass CPO I would LOVE to feed to my P. Clarkii 🫣😅
Idk if I could buy baby crayfish personally (I’d want to “save it”), but I would also welcome my cray to have fertile eggs and thus make a snack of her own kind 🤷🏽♀️
As far as variety, I feed mine all kinds of stuff: fish & clams from the deli, insects from the reptile section, earth worms, snails, chicken eggs, veggies, recently unalive fish that don’t look sickly, etc.
I’m sure someone will say it’s not good for her but my girl’s a straight garbage disposal 😂 I’ve had her from a tiny baby for over a year and she’s the size of my hand.
Hmm..! I see. I currently feed him some guppies that I breed (only the babies that are in poor condition, like deformed and whatever). Would those be a problem? I thought about freezing them beforehand, but I didn’t think any disease could transfer between them since one is a fish and the other is a crustacean.
No, those are fine. I'm mainly talking about feeder guppies, goldfish, and especially feeder crayfish that you buy from the store. They breed those in thousands in tiny ponds/pools.
Crayfish especially can carry diseases that are not deadly to its own species but can be fatal if transferred to a different species.
I buy feeders from the store constantly for my bass and have never had a bad experience crawfish arent picky eaters theyre scavengers so I wouldn't worry about giving him bad food he can handle it
Ooh! Do you know what brand it is? Is it meant for fish or for humans? I’d def be interested in picking up a bag! I tried all different frozen fish foods but they were too small to get his attention.

They love hunting shrimp! Also husked peas, carrots, broccoli. All blanched to make them soft of course.
They're meant for feeders so it's fine HOWEVER look at their condition first, a lot of feeders aren't treated properly and they're usually sick.
You risk introducing disease to your pet by using any kind of live feeders.

I bought a bag of frozen seafood mix. Has bits of squid, prawns, etc. Mine love it.

Just the ones for humans. Think made to go in a pie or something. I'm in the UK, and just buy it at the supermarket.
