About CPO
Cambarellus patzcuarensis. CPO dwarf crayfish are a small, active Cambarellus species kept in planted aquariums. Our page stays live for care information and availability updates while the colony is being built up.
We keep the CPO line separate from Blue Brazos and Cambarellus diminutus. Availability returns only when the colony is strong enough to support shipping.
Care overlaps with other Cambarellus dwarf crayfish: stable water, sinking foods, hiding places, and tank mates chosen with caution.

Not available yet
We're building up our CPO colony. When we have enough healthy stock to sell, they'll show up on the shop page. Pricing will be the same as Brazos dark and light, starting at $14 each for a pack of 10.
Quick reference
Good to know
Keep them in clean, stable water with cover and prepared sinking foods.
Active during the day. You'll see them out and about more than some other dwarf crayfish.
Use the same tank mate caution as Brazos: avoid animals large enough to eat them or aggressive enough to harass them.
