The Mexican Orange Dwarf Crayfish, also known as Cambarellus patzcuarensis 'Orange', is a small freshwater crustacean that is native to Mexico. As its name suggests, it has a bright orange coloration with white stripes on its claws, and it is relatively small in size, reaching only 1.5 to 2 inches in length. These crayfish are peaceful and can be kept in a community tank with other non-aggressive fish. They prefer a well-maintained aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and plants. Mexican Orange Dwarf Crayfish are omnivorous and will eat a variety of foods, including pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms. They are relatively hardy and can adapt to a range of water conditions. These crayfish are also known for their ability to breed in captivity, making them a popular choice for hobbyists interested in crayfish breeding.
