1) not neccessarily, there is always a chance that they will fight, especially if there is not enough space/hiding place/food. However if they have enough space/hiding place/food, the chances of fighting will be greatly reduced.

2)If they are the same species, different colours can breed.

3)If there are enough space, hiding place or food, there is a significantly lower chance of fighting. do take note their size difference too.

4) sorry, cant help you here

Oh? The "colours" i meant mean species. HAha im so noob.. So can re-answer the questions? Or the answers are the same
Especially Q 2, change the "colour" to "species".

Agreed, if there is enough hiding spots (plenty of arranged driftwoods, caves) and enough food they won't fight too much. I used to have 3 different types in a 2ft tank and because the smallest one was a lot smaller than the largest one, I think it ended up being the giant's supper.

So can crays of different species breed?
And what food do u bros here feed your crays with?

New sets of answers, only change to Q2.

1) not neccessarily, there is always a chance that they will fight, especially if there is not enough space/hiding place/food. However if they have enough space/hiding place/food, the chances of fighting will be greatly reduced.

2)Different species cannot breed.
