Can Cajun Dwarf Crayfish live with Red Devil Vampire Crab?
Caution — with care
Why
- Almost no shared temperature: Cajun Dwarf Crayfish wants 65–75°F and Red Devil Vampire Crab wants 75–82°F, so only 75°F suits both — too fine a margin to actually hold.
Sweet spot: both do well at 75–75°F and pH 7.5–8 — aim there.
