Pink Sakura Crayfish 1" - Live Aquarium Invertebrates - Procambarus clarkii

Pink Sakura Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii)

The rarest fresh water crayfish in the world. Incredible new color morph of the Procambarus clarkii crayfish: Pink Sakura! Though most crayfish are often reclusive by nature, this particular crayfish is very active by comparison and spends plenty of time exploring the floor of the aquarium in search of food.  The Pink Sakura Clarkii Crayfish is an omnivorous scavenger and will eat most any meaty or plant-based foods.  This crayfish should not be kept with most ornamental live plants, as it will eat them at a surprising rate. Some more rigid plants (such as Coral Moss) that are difficult to eat, however, can sometimes be kept with this crayfish.

As it reaches adulthood, the Pink Sakura Clarkii Crayfish will become relatively territorial, so it may behave aggressively towards other animals in the tank.  It is important that ample hiding places such as rockwork, driftwood, or PVC pipes be provided.  This is even more crucial when housing multiple crayfish in the same tank.  Due to the size and waste production of this crayfish, a minimum 30-gallon, well-filtered aquarium is necessary for one adult.  A larger aquarium can house multiple adults of similar size.  This is a very hardy animal, but regular water changes are vital to its optimal health.  Other bottom-dwelling invertebrates and fish should not be kept with large crayfish.  It is possible to keep mid- and upper-level, fast-swimming fish with the Pink Sakura Clarkii Crayfish, but crayfish are opportunistic feeders and will generally eat whatever they can catch. 

As with all of our crayfish, the coloration of the Pink Sakura Clarkii Crayfish is EXTREMELY high quality. This crayfish may TEMPORARILY change color and hide more than usual after molting, which may occur during shipping. If your crayfish is not vivid pink and you find a molt in the bag or in your aquarium, do not worry; this is normal and the bright color will return in 2 weeks or less. 

We are currently offering 1+ inch juvenile specimens of the Pink Sakura Clarkii Crayfish. We hope to offer adults, including sexed pairs, in the future if possible.

 Due to state restrictions on invasive species, we are not able to ship or sell any color morph of the Procambarus clarkii crayfish to the following states: Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
