do crawfish have 2 live in fresh water?

Question

can crwfish live in dry land 2 or wat

Answer 1

This may help you i made it myself:

Ive had alot of experience with crawfish ( I call them crayfish). Yes, as long as ther whole under side is kept wet .Get a good filter, feed him only a maximum of 3 shrimp pellets every 4 days, DO NOT PUT RAW SHRIMP IN TANK( shrimp carry deseases fatal to crawfish), Put 2 or three live feeder fish fish every week or so , gat him a bubble maker to put oxygeg in the tank, and about 2-3 hiding places. If you evr think of getting 2 crayfish get a 20 gallon( for best results get a 30gallon) and 5 hiding places. Remember this rule, it applies to most species of crawfish: 1crayfish per 10 gallons. If he molts(shed off his shell) he will get bigger and lost limbs will start to regenerate, leave the molt in there so he can eat it and regain calcium from the molt to harden his shell(do not touch it after it molts, its body is fragile at that time.

oh yea, they can live in partly salt water but would prefer fresh.

So They are extremely hardy and can live without food for weeks!

Answer 2

i have only seen them natrally in freshwater ex. lakes. they are used as feed for some fish like a salt water puffer fish. It is really cool when they get eaten. I think they can come out of water for a little bit but they pefer water. they are basically mini lobsters. i have never seen a crawfish in saltwater. If the louisiana swamps are saltwater then yes because of dirty jobs in the swamps.

Answer 3

they need water also.
