## Overview

The Imperial Tropicals *4* Orange CPO Mexican Dwarf Crayfish (Cambarellus Patzcuarenis) are small, peaceful freshwater lobsters that grow to about 1.5 inches. Known for their striking orange color, these low-maintenance crayfish are perfect for community tanks and come with a live arrival guarantee, ensuring your aquatic experience is both colorful and worry-free.

## Description

CPO Crayfish are a good fit for those looking for a unique addition to their community aquarium or nano tank. While there are never guarantees about compatibility, these are a better suit than regular crayfish, which get significantly larger and are more aggressive. CPO Crayfish will only reach 1.5" in size at maturity. Like all crayfish, these will appreciate hiding spots where they can feel safe, especially after molting.Crayfish can adapt to almost any reasonable parameters. We recommend:- Temperature range of 65 to 80 degrees- pH range of between 6 and 8DOA POLICY -PLEASE READ IN FULL BEFORE PURCHASING: If you encounter any issues with the animals upon arrival, please email us with photos and/or video of the issue and a brief explanation (what animals are having difficulty, what the symptoms are, and any other information you may deem noteworthy). In the case of partial DOA, please count the LIVING animals before you email us. In certain cases, we send extras (i.e. Neocaridina shrimp) - so even if you have 1 or 2 DOA, you will often still receive what you paid for. *****This email needs to be received within 2 hours of delivery according to the shipper's tracking information.***** If these terms are met, we will either issue a refund or send replacements. Whether you receive a refund or replacements will be dependent on a number of factors, and decisions will be made BY US on a case by case basis. In some cases, it is not feasible to send replacements (i.e. if the value of the dead animals is less than the cost of shipping).

## Features

- CPO Crayfish only grow to around 1.5" and are a lot less aggressive than their larger relatives.     Crayfish are generally very low maintenance as they are not picky about their food and will generally accept any fish food!     These crayfish are commonly known as CPO's due to their orange strain and scientific name (i.e. Cambarellus Patzcuarenis Orange).     These will be 3/4" or larger in size at the time of shipment.     Live arrival guarantee - see below for more information!

    These guys are so cool! Great seller experience.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2020*

So I have purchased from this seller twice now. My first purchase was for a pair, just to see how it would go. Unfortunately, one became sickly (long after my order arrived) and died. So, naturally, I couldn't leave my little dude hanging! I purchased four more this most recent time. They all arrived alive and well. They are currently sharing my 55 gallon community tank (with tons of hiding spots). These critters are just so cool and fun to watch. I just watched one strategically leap and float down to the bottom from very tall plants! I have had my one original little guy for 3-4 months now and the newer additions for almost a week now. I have had a wonderful experience with the seller. Also, the shipping materials are top end for live fish--very well-packaged and clearly marked boxing. A+++ Will be doing more business in the future!*****UPDATE*****I found myself having to order more of these little guys--I finally figured out that they should not share a tank with a pleco fish! He only comes out at night, but was having a crayfish snack every few nights! So now he is in his own tank, and my new crayfish have arrived. I am fairly confident that these ones won't mysteriously vanish/lose legs anymore. But, just like before, seller packaging was high quality, and my order arrived 3 days early. I have enjoyed every interaction with this seller, and every single crayfish I have ordered, has arrived healthy and very alive! Great buying experience!

    In transit for days, but stilk came through okay
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022*

I'm very happy with the CPOs that came. All over them look great, and they spent days in transit! Very impressed, I was expecting them all to be dead do to the delays in shipping. I would 100% buy again

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great addition to a decorative aquaium.
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2021*

Dwarf crayfish are interesting and very cool. They are absolutely little lobsters but being smal they don't try to eat your fish.
