The Bronze Freshwater Dwarf Crayfish (Cambarus sp.) is a small, hardy crustacean known for its bronze or brownish-green color, which helps it blend into natural environments. Typically growing to about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm), it has a compact body with small, robust claws and a smooth, muted color pattern. This species is peaceful but territorial, especially when establishing its burrow or during molting. Bronze Dwarf Crayfish are scavengers, feeding on algae, detritus, and leftover food, helping to keep aquariums clean. They thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water, prefer well-planted tanks with hiding spots, and do well in warm temperatures. This species is easy to care for and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish or invertebrates.
