Mini Mexican Orange Lobster (Cambarellus patzcuarensis) (Crayfish)

Cambarellus patzcuarensis is a true dwarf crayfish, and the orange morph pairs that small footprint with a color bright enough to spot from across the room. Don't let "mini" fool you on temperament though — it's just as territorial and opportunistic as its full-size cousins, just scaled down.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Semi-aggressive · Max size: ~1.5" · Min tank: 5 gal · Diet: Omnivore, scavenger
