Do Crayfish show territories? Does the sex make a difference?

Question

Do crayfish have territories? Does the sex make a difference? If I pet flowerpots in the corners of a tank will the crayfish return to the same pot by the next morning?

Answer 1

Thomas,

 

Crayfish in their natural habitat are territorial and go the spot abundant in their food for foraging. You can try with different flowerpots to monitor their response and behavior, it appears like an experiment worth trying.

 

Hope this helps.
