NEON ORANGE LOBSTER
- RM0.00
In this guide, I have done extensive research on Procarambus Clarkii, commonly known as Red swamp crayfish, Louisiana red swamp, Neon orange crayfish or Mudbug, to describe care, diet, and breeding in all possible details. As always on my blog, you will find here not a vague description but facts.
Procarambus Clarkii can live in almost any freshwater aquarium and are among the toughest freshwater tank inhabitants available to the hobby. This is a highly adaptable species. Its ability to grow and mature rapidly made it the dominant freshwater crayfish in the world. The only problem is that it is not suitable for planted or community tank.
Neon orange crayfish are also highly resistant to environmental stress, including extreme temperatures, the absence of water, high salinity, and the presence of pollutants. All these qualities make it an excellent choice for beginner aquarists.
