The wonderfully pretty large crayfish of the genus Cherax not only have impressive claws, but they are often also fascinatingly coloured. Recently, several first scientific descriptions have been published, and intensive research is currently underway.
Crayfish of the genus Cherax are native to Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia. They need somewhat higher temperatures in the aquarium and - unlike many North American species - no cold spell in winter. Temperatures below 10 C are not tolerated. In their native waters, they often live in soft water with a pH of about 6.5, but they also feel comfortable in harder water.
As a general rule, crayfish of the genus Cherax should never be kept together with American crayfish such as Procambarus, Cambarus, Cambarellus and so on, as the latter can be carriers of the crayfish plague. They themselves are largely immune to the pathogen, but 100% of cherax crayfish affected by the disease die. The highly contagious pathogen is transmitted via water, where it can survive for up to six weeks without a host (i.e. also via wet landing nets, beware!).
Cherax can be kept together with shrimps without any problems. The situation is somewhat different with snails, which are a highly welcome protein snack for the crayfish and also occur in their natural food spectrum. A very productive snail such as Marisa cornuarietis is a good choice for keeping in a crayfish tank, so the animals always have access to live food.
They can be kept with fish to a limited extent. Bottom-dwelling fish such as catfish occupy the same territory, which can lead to problems. (Cichlid) perch and other larger predatory fish stress the crayfish so much that they can no longer come out of their hiding places. After a moult, the crayfish is still soft for a few hours (the so-called butter crayfish), then it is easy prey for them. You can occasionally socialise crayfish with smaller fish that do not sleep on the bottom, depending on their character. Curious fish, however, will be threatened and even nipped once. Weak and sick fish are welcome prey for crayfish. Crabs and large-armed shrimps will kill even seemingly physically superior crayfish after moulting at the latest.
Cherax are not quite as solitary as other crayfish species, you often see males and females sitting "scissors to scissors" or wandering through the aquarium. A good structure is nevertheless a must, so that the animals can move out of each other's way or retreat if necessary. Special crayfish burrows are also very suitable here. The aquarium should be completely covered with a relatively heavy lid, as crayfish are true escape artists, are excellent climbers (e.g. on cables) and can also exert considerable strength.
Fertilised Cherax females carry their 100 to 400 eggs (depending on the species) under their abdomen for four to six weeks until hatching. The abdomen is folded under and rolled up for protection. The hatched young crayfish also live under the mother's tail for a few more days until they finally leave her and live independently. The young crayfish are partly cannibalistic and therefore need many hiding places in the form of foliage, a brick or shrimp tubes. Cherax can have offspring up to four times a year.
It is relatively easy to distinguish the sexes of Cherax. To do this, turn the crayfish on its back or place it in a jar with a glass bottom. The females have their gonopores (sexual orifices) at the base of the third pair of walking legs, in males they are at the base of the fifth, last pair of walking legs.
They like to eat brown autumn leaves, insect larvae, snails, frozen food, special crayfish food, vegetables, nettle, flake food and so on. Since cherax are omnivores, the proportion of animal and vegetable food should be roughly balanced.
New findings and observations from the habitats of cherax crabs from Papua suggest that the growing Papuan crabs are rather carnivorous, i.e. they eat a relatively large proportion of animal food in addition to vegetable food. As the crabs grow older, their diet shifts more and more towards plants. Too much protein can lead to massive moulting problems and early death in adult Papuan cherax. In this case, the food should only contain proteins from plant sources.
The Papuan Fire Crab, also known as Orange Tip, was previously thought to be a colour variant of Cherax holthuisi, but it is now clear that it is a new species, which has now been described as Cherax snowden. There is also a greenish colour variety of this crayfish. Measured without claws, the animals grow to a length of 9 to 12 cm. They do not eat plants and do not dig very much. A pair or a small group can be kept in an aquarium of 80 litres or more.
The Sunshine Apricot Crayfish from Papua is better known as Irianto Red. It belongs to the still recently described species Cherax snowden Lukhaup et al., 2015. Its intense orange-red to bright red colouration makes it extremely attractive. The Irianto Red reaches a body length of up to 12-14 cm. It is not a strong herbivore, nor does it dig as much as other crayfish if it finds good hiding places. For one male and one female or for a small group with a surplus of females, an aquarium with an edge length of 80 cm or more is suitable.
The so far scientifically undescribed Cherax sp. Blue Moon also comes from Papua. The males have white claw bladders, which are missing in the females. With a body length of 12 to 15 cm (without claws) it becomes quite imposing. The aquarium should measure 80 cm or more for a pair or small group. The Blue Moon is suitable for planted tanks because it does not dig heavily and does not eat plants.
There is also a variant of the Cherax sp. "Blue Moon" called "Blue Moon Snakeskin". These beautifully marked Cherax crayfish also come from Papua, Indonesia. They grow to about 12-15 cm and stand out due to the snakeskin-like dark blue pattern on the otherwise light green to light blue carapace. The Snakeskin Blue Moon has a dark blue abdomen with light horizontal stripes and blue legs. The claws are white with blue markings and have deep indigo tips. The Blue Moon Snakeskin is not very interested in plants and is not conspicuous for excessive digging.
There are several colour varieties of Cherax holthuisi from Papua. The best known is the apricot-coloured variety, which is why this crayfish is often called apricot crayfish. Its size of up to 15 cm makes a tank of 80 to 100 litres necessary for keeping a pair or a small group. The apricot crayfish does not eat plants, does not dig and is considered very peaceful. Its small eyes indicate that it is a cave dweller.
The chocolate apricot crayfish is also a colour variation of Cherax holthuisi from the Vogelkop Peninsula in Papua. Thanks to its orange markings, the otherwise predominantly brown crayfish looks as if it is glowing from within. With a body length of up to 15 cm, it is also a somewhat smaller species from the form group and thus fits into aquariums of 80 litres or more.
Cherax quadricarinatus comes from Australia. It reaches a body length of up to 25 cm and therefore needs a larger aquarium, from 100 litres for a single animal, from 240 litres for a pair or a small group of two females and one male. Cherax quadricarinatus are skilled hunters and like to catch fish. Plants are partly chewed off and eaten. The males have orange-red claw bladders, which the females lack.
The recently described Cherax pulcher is also known by its old name Cherax sp. "Irian Jaya/Hoa Creek". It originates from Indonesia. With a body length of 12 to 13 cm this pretty crayfish is a rather small representative of its genus. A pair or a small group of two females and one male can be kept from 80 cm tank length. Cherax pulcher does not eat plants, but it digs very heavily. Very peaceful crayfish that can be kept together with smaller fish. The males have white claw bladders.
The Red Papuan Crayfish, Cherax boesemani, also known as Red Brick, also comes from Papua. With a body length of up to 15 cm, it is one of the larger members of its genus, so a pair or a small group of two females and one male needs a relatively large aquarium of 120 litres or more. The Red Brick hardly touches plants and fish, and it does not dig very much. Sexually mature males can be easily recognised by their light-coloured claw blisters, which are missing on females and juveniles
.
The blue colour form of Cherax boesemani, the Blue Papuan Crayfish, also comes from Papua/Indonesia. It has a great colouration, from dark blue-black to bright orange, purple, blue and orange-brown. With a body length of up to 12 cm it is also rather medium-sized, a pair fits into an aquarium of 80 to 100 cm. The Blue Papuan Crayfish is an active digger and should therefore be kept in an appropriately set up aquarium.
In the hobby you will also find Cherax cf. monticola, of which there are also several varieties. They are also very peaceful, hardly ever dig and do not go near plants. This 12 to 15 cm large crayfish also needs an aquarium of 80 cm and more for a pair or a small group.
