Blue Claw Yabby / Crayfish 5-6cm

Cherax Destructor (Blue Claw Yabby) are hardy and quite comfortable in cold or tropical water. They will dig and eat plants so not recommended for display or plant tanks. They can also be territorial so provide plenty of hides. As yabbies grow they shed their shell and at this time can be vulnerable and eaten by other tank inhabitants. If for any reason yabbies lose a limb, these will be regrown over the next few molts. As with other invertebrates, they are sensitive to copper treatments. Yabbies are also escape artist so a cover glass is needed.
