java moss and java fern? I am thinking of adding a crawfish (caught from

Thanks for your info!

I wouldnt be surprised by anything a crawfish did. I saw a few in a pet
store that dig their claws into a net and the pet store owner picked them
right out of the water it never let go..They dont seem to back down at
all... They seem very aggresive...

Crawfish are a major problem here in Arizona, pushing out alot of native
species. I've done research on native fish and learned that crawfish will
eat algae, plants, fish, baby ducks (!), frogs, poisonous toads, any egg,
and other crayfish. They are extremely aggressive, and can get very big.
Crawfish like to dig in their search for food, so they will uproot many
plants.

good luck
