Default Crawfish

I'm thinking of adding a crawfish ("blue lobster") to my tank. Anything
I should know about? Anything special that they need?

A crawfish is a predator, and a rather vicious one at that. Unless the
fish are larger than it is, you will loose some.

A crawfish will also dig in the bottom of your aquarium, and tend to
destroy any plants it can reach. It may do quite a lot of harm to your
aquarium.

Best think to do is just check out this website. Look at the forum
aswell, there are many many people there with a lot of actual experience
with crayfish in aquariums & some Crayfish Systemologists that actually
study crayfish for a living.

Not true!!!! Not all crayfish dig & harm plants. Many are in more danger
from the fish than the other way around.
