'Rogue'

Sure, why not? That's what I've got Rogue in right now.
Just make sure you've got decent filtration and a little cave-type structure in there for it, and you'll be all set. No heater necessary.
It may end up looking a little cramped in there when it gets bigger, but that will take a while, and it really won't hurt the cray any. Whether or not you eventually move it into a bigger tank at that point is up to you.
I hope you end up getting one...we could use more cray people on the forum.

All of the crays I have kept have changed colors (or, rather, shades of their own original colors) according to their surroundings...likely in order to keep better camouflage.
Jericho (my blue male) was originally darker than he is now because he was raised in a black tank up until recently---he got lighter after being kept on lighter substrate.
He is now on black gravel again, so he should darken up some before too long.

I was reading a previous post from you and I thought to myself ...
He didn't used to have a black cray - after doing some looking around the forums I see I am right!!

Hehe...so what's stopping you?
Sounds familiar.
You know how I circumvented the wife's stance on this one? I came home with a 10 gallon tank and said it was free because my purchase was over $25.00
In my case it really was free, just like I said...but I'm sure the wife wouldn't have known differently had it not been free.
See what I'm getting at, Jeff?
If she hardens her stance, just tell her she can't buy anymore pairs of shoes then if you can't have anymore tanks!

P.S. Let me know how this all works out, by the way. You can send me a copy of the divorce papers with your plant shipment.

Woops...I left some questions unanswered...
usacutie,
He should get to be about 5-6 inches in length.
breeze,
I feed him shrimp pellets. He also scavenges on whatever happens to fall to the bottom as a result of feeding the fish. I got him at a Petland where they were selling him as a 'feeder cray' and had him in with a bunch of other random types of crayfish. Not a bad deal for about $2.00, eh?

P.S. Looks like Rogue just moulted again, and everything went well!
