They're very easy to care for. Give him a secure hiding spot, feed him sinking foods (shrimp pellets are great) and when he molts, leave the shell in the tank - he will eat it and it's very healthy for them. Be careful if you want fish with him - even fast fish are at risk since he'll do his hunting at night, while fish rest.

Crawfish are scavengers. Sinking pellets (carniverous variety) from a pet store would be good. Just make sure the food gets to the bottom of the tank, that's where they like to eat. Small chunks of beefheart, shrimp, cod, or even lean chicken (occasionally) will all work as food. The stinkier it is, the more attracted your little guy will be to it. Keep his water clean, and I wouldn't recommend putting any fish in with him. They like to sneak up on sleeping fish and POW! you just fed your crawfish a $5 dinner!

Follow all the previos advice giving and amke sure your tank is secure. Crawfish are little escape artists and will make amazing distance from the tank. I kept mine with feeder fish. I liked the way they made the tank look with small fish darting about, feeder guppies :)

Put a few large rocks in there, 1 or 2 hididng spots like a cave, keep the water clean, and feed him properly they dont require much care.
