what tank should i get for a crayfish - especially for the cover so it will not sneak out

We have a 10 gallon and he has plenty of room, but if I could do it over, I would get atleast a 12 gallon and it should definitely have a lid. Also, plan on changing the filter often because it will smell if you don't change it often. I think it is because of the food they eat. Enjoy your crayfish. They are beautiful and he is very entertaining!!!

You want it to be 25-30 gallons, long over tall or a normal framed one. And one with a secure hood. The places that do have openings you can actually tape screen over them so the filter isn't interrupted, they typically can't get up through those provided the sides around them are blocked.

i got him in a six gallon, pillar style tank. its deep, and i have logs laying horizontally and vertically for him to walk and down the tank. it also provides hiding places for him.if you have it, i would say get a 10 gallon tank. i had the 6 gallon as a spare and empty tank. that's why i made it his home. he seems to be happy, but bigger is always better!

Start with a 20 gallon with plenty of cover and soft substrate. Go bigger as it grows.

I would suggest something a little longer and wider but it really depends on the size of the snake. Your average 40 gallon aquarium would work nicely.

Any tank with a standard ANSI Z21.58 connection. In other words, the big ones they store in the cage on the sidewalk in front of Walmart. NOT the little "picnic bottle" green ones they have on the shelf back in the Camping aisle inside the store.

I bought a Marina C10 Submersible Aquarium Heater, 10W. It works fantasticly. I put it inside the white tube, behide the filtersthere is plenty of room and it fits just right. The temp. stay constant and my betta LOVE this Aquarium.

This is not a good tank for turtles lol. it has an opening door and the wasted space! Zoo med makes awesome products for turtles though. You want somthing like a regular 10 gallon tank. that you can pimp out with turtle stuff.

It all depends on the size of your goldfish and crayfish are really aggressive they can kill your golfdfish. I think you should get a separate 2 gallon 5 gallon holding tank then put it in a crayfish tank with 1 other crayfish or a crab... that some advice. Oh also u can feed the crayfish baby minnows.

I have only used this trap fro crayfish. But, generally any rotting meat: on old BBQ chicken leg is ideal of Crayfish. I would guess the same of crabs. BTW: this trap will NOT work for dungeness crab: it needs holes to let the below size ones out to be legal (here in California).

The floor area that a hermit crab could use is a little small in nano tanks. It would be better to have enough room to let the crab(s) have a thermal gradient (varying temperatures at floor level, not all the floor on heating pad) and room for a water source and hide areas.

I left mine open, but you might be able to angle a light hood diagonally across the open end to help keep your furry friends out. You can also buy clear acrylic at a hardware store and build some side extensions for the open end of the tank, glue them on with aquarium adhesive. if all else fails, you can diy your own custom screen cover with some wood molding and window screen, just seal the wood and use outdoor screen that won't rust. Good luck

Hi, I actually have hermit crabs, too. If you only have a one small one, this would be ok. If you have more than one I would recommend a 10 gallon tank. Hermits like to climb driftwood and have damp soil to bury in. I have tarantulas in mine and need to keep some of them damp. These tanks below the door are able to have damp soil fine.

I have a similar turtle in a 30gal tank, and I use the 500 model. It keeps the water clear, but requires maintenance every few weeks. If you have the room and a few extra bucks, get the 700 model. The 1200 is overkill, but as the other person said you can't over-filter.

What do you plan on keeping in the tank? If fish only and leathers then yes but if you plan on keeping sps or LPs corals then no I would buy something else

Yes, standard tank. If you live close to the beach, beware of rusting. We got ours in May and there is significant rust despite cover.

the lowest setting is fine for my 15 gallon tall. I have 5 galaxy barbs, two albino cories cats, two amino shrimps, an otto catfish and a shit load of snails(Note: a bunch of moss cover my intake tube from time to time). But it depends on the fish you plan to get too. do your fish come from a place with fast moving water or slow? Since you already have a spare C4 and a tank just try it out. worse case you return the fish back.
