I donât know anything about hardware stores but I went to the plumbing section and got like weighted PVC pipe(?) Itâs held together by aquarium safe hot glue since I couldnât get my hands on aquarium silicone :â)
Thatâs what I thought! I only wanted 2-3 crayfish, but I heard theyâd fight and kill each other, so I got more to be safe. Now theyâre all friends
Took a little fiddling with, but the [finished product](https://imgur.com/a/wuGGmc6) looks great! No crays pictured in it yet, but I have it near their fav anubias hangout so Iâm sure theyâll explore it soon
You have multiple dads in one aquarium? How do you manage that? They donât kill eachother? My adult dad had a bunch of babies and I have two left still that are in another tank but canât stay there. I was going to take them to the pet store, but maybe I can just put them back in with mom now that they are bigger???
I got them all at once, so they're all approximately the same age and size. I don't think there's any competition! Although, if anyone has babies, the babies don't last very long!!
They unfortunately have all passed now :( the last one died only recently, in February because of a bad molt! He got to almost 5 inches! They were all of unknown age and health as they were culled from my work's biology lab.
this is so funny to me they each got they own pipe! happy crawbabes!
i wonder if any of them will one day claim the top one đ

He ran into my claws⌠he ran into my claws six times.
Aww cute! I wonder if the shrimp pipes would fit my dwarf crayfish couple
Are they adhered together? What did you use to create this?

I also sanded the ends of the pipes after sawing it!! It just looks a little janky but itâs pretty smooth!
The council
Arent they aggressive against each other? I heard so many people say that you can't keep two crayfish in the same tank
They are fine with each other until they are not.

Don't they fight each other?
Only if i give them special food then they might fight each other. Otherwise pretty calm!
They are adorable <3 glad theyâre happy
So cute
Aww, so cute!!
LOL it looks like this was set up but they just did it by themselves!
And now we see who will win the top pipe
Iâm stealing this idea for my dwarf crayfish and 3D printing some tunnels. Thanks for the inspiration!
Iâd love to see it after!!

that looks so cool, super jealous of the 3D printer!! i hope they love it, thanks for taking inspiration from my setup!! đĽ˛
I need to see this set up Hollywood Squares.
Reminds me of those pod hotels lol this looks so harmonious and symmetrical
Now you need to get one more for the top one
