Yup it works! Its still a Crayfish. Keep an eye on it cause it really looks
like a Marble Cray. They can reproduce A-sexually without a male. The only
know crayfish to do so!

Well, biologically they're very closely related. Most obviously,
crayfish have big front claws while shrimp have smaller ones, if they
have claws at all. Crayfish also tend to get bigger than shrimp and
have broad carapices while srimp are more slender. Many shrimp like the
prawns we eat swim quite well.

Most freshwater shrimp you find at fish stores eat algae, tiny
crustaceans, or fish food that they pick up with tiny claws or filter
feed directly from the water column. Crayfish grow considerably larger
and have sturdy front claws. They will use their claws to eat and/or
destroy your plants. They can also catch and eat small fish.
Personally, I don't consider a crayfish a good addition to a planted
community tank.

100% correct not a good addition to a planted tank. Unless its a dwarf
species. This one is not.
