DO you guys know if the common crayfish is compatible with shrip such as ghosts. What about the dwarf crayfish a less agressive and smaller version of the common crayfish. http://crayfishshop.com/product_info...products_id=46 What do you guys think?

The crayfish will almost certainally damage the soft shrimps armour with their claws if they are of a similar size, of if the crayfish is bigger then he would most likely think he's been dropped in a fancy resturant with special deals on prawn ****tail.

I agree with CM, the shrimps would end up becoming a meal for the crayfish.

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
