Check out this link, sam, and let us know what you think:
Cherax destructor

A little preliminary research on your part would have given you the answer much quicker, no doubt, but I'm always happy to point out the obvious.

EDIT: Excuse me, sam. Maybe I spoke too soon...
After all, you didn't mention whether or not you wanted any of the creatures you listed to live or get crushed to death and eaten by one of the most powerful crays on the planet.

Hmmm, can I put a known fish slaying machine in my tank with my other fish? :D

In my VERY limited experience, I put a small P. Alleni Crayfish (3" or so at the moment, Much smaller than the one you suggest) in my 10g.....6 Days later I'm short 3 fish, so.....How much do you love your fish? :p

thanks i think ill get another tank to put them in ive kept hermit crabs before and im fine with the nips (hermit crabs latch on and you have to wait for a long time with it submerged in the water for it to let go.......one latched onto my jumper once i decided to let it stay there until it wanted to let go so i took my jumper off and layed it down on my bathroom floor with the door shut sure enough 10mins later it with still trying to kill my jumper so i put it in water :D

Be sure to let us know how it feels when you get a 'nip' from a full-grown, 8-12 inch Cherax destructor. Include pics too...if you still have a finger to snap the shot with. :eek:
