Overview
What to know before you buy.
A stunning white variant of Procambarus clarkii, the White Specter Crayfish is a hardy and active addition to the aquarium. Like other P. clarkii morphs, they can be destructive to plants and aggressive towards slow fish. They require a secure lid, as they are known escape artists.
Key traits
Care guide
Keeping White Specter Crayfish healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
Add it only to a fully cycled, mature tank: invertebrates tolerate ammonia and nitrite far worse than fish. Use a tight lid and give plenty of caves: crabs and crayfish escape and need a safe spot to moult.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6.5–8 and 20–26°C. Never use copper: most fish medications and some plant fertilisers contain it and it kills invertebrates. Drip-acclimate over at least an hour.
Feeding
Omnivore. Remove uneaten food within a few hours so it doesn't foul the water.
Behaviour
It hides after moulting while the new shell hardens: leave the old shell in the tank, it eats it back for minerals.
Tankmates
White Specter Crayfish can catch slow or sleeping fish and will eat smaller invertebrates. Keep it with fast, robust fish.
Breeding
White Specter Crayfish breeds readily in a stable, predator-free tank.
