Electric Blue Crayfish
Electric blue crayfish, also known as Procambarus alleni, are a stunning freshwater crayfish species with a bright blue coloration. They are a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts due to their unique appearance, interesting behavior, and relatively easy care requirements. However, it's important to note that they can be aggressive and territorial, and may not be suitable for community aquariums. In this case, it is best to keep them in a species-only aquarium with plenty of hiding places and ample space to roam.
