The species
What are Blue Brazos dwarf crayfish?
American bred Cambarellus texanus in blue, dark, and light Brazos color forms. These are small dwarf crayfish raised in aquarium systems before shipping.
We keep the Brazos color forms sorted into blue, dark, and light lines. They are all Cambarellus texanus, so the basic care is the same across the color forms.
Why American bred matters: our Brazos line is raised in aquarium conditions before shipping. They eat prepared sinking foods and ship as aquarium raised animals rather than wild caught imports.

Blue, dark, and light Brazos color forms
Light
Light tan to pale coloration, with details that vary by animal, molt stage, and lighting.
Dark
Dark brown to very dark coloration, depending on animal and lighting.
Blue
Our most requested color form. The higher price reflects selective domestic breeding and limited availability.
Quick reference
Care basics
Give them stable water, prepared sinking foods, and plenty of hides. Most homes do not need a heater if the room temperature stays stable.
Tank mates should be chosen with caution. Avoid animals large enough to eat them or aggressive enough to harass them.
