my son and I have a freshwater aquarium with various wild critters, including snails, catfish, and crawdads...all things that we have caught from our local river.
Yesterday, I noticed that my largest crawdad, about 3 inches long, completely disappeared.
About 2 days prior, I also noticed that 2 of our store bought gold fish were gone...I originally thought that the crawdad musta been hungry, but now I am thinking I have a whole bermuda triangle thing going on.
Does anyone have any ideas as to where my crawdad could have gone? And how long they can live out of the aquatic environment?
I am really not looking forward to finding a dead and rotting crawdad...lol

maybe the other animals attacked it cause it ate your goldfish but hey sometimes they just disappear like this one time i had 4 shrimp and 7 goldfish i cleaned out my tank and put my critters in a 6" bowl type thing. later once i was returning my animals to their tank, and i couldnt find one of my shrimp and turns out it had jumped over board and have died poor shrimpy i miss it so much

I have 1 catfish and 1 bass in a 150 gallon and I feed them both crawdads as snacks, seriously. If you research either species, you will find that in nature all they eat is other fish and crawdads.

if you have a wild catfish,then theres your answer.
Wild catfish will naturally eat crawfish and i know a goldfish will be eatten.
How big is this tank, Most N.A catfishes will grow huge.
Also it is a bad idea to have your son take wild animals. It may be illegal in your area, and it isnt good for the enviroment.
