Well, I recently got what turned out to be a female CPO crayfish. I have fallen in love. So much so that I now want to get a male. My female is in my betta sorority tank, which is a 20 gallon, along with one female guppy, 2 otos and cherry shrimp.
I'd like to keep them together (the male and female cray) but am afraid they might fight, and one might get hurt or even killed. Does this happen often with a male and female? Or should I put the male into my 10 gallon endler tank? (Only have 5 endlers, a guppy and a few cherry shrimp in there. If I decide to breed them at some point, do I put the male in with the female, or the other way around? I just don't want to take any chances, so if there are risks of fighting, I would just as soon keep them in separate tanks. Thanks!
