Mexican Dwarf Orange Crayfish

The Mexican Dwarf Orange Crayfish, scientifically known as Cambarellus patzcuarensis, is a vibrant freshwater crustacean popular in the aquarium hobby. They are known for their small size, reaching 1.5 to 2 inches in length, and their striking orange coloration, which can range from tangerine to a fiery sunset hue. These crayfish are relatively peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive tank mates, like shrimp and small fish, in a 10-gallon or larger tank.
