Orange Dwarf Mexican Crayfish (CPO) –
Cambarellus patzcuarensis
Add bold color and personality to your aquarium with the vibrant Orange Dwarf Mexican Crayfish! Also known as CPOs, these miniature crayfish are a favorite among aquarists for their striking orange coloration, active behavior, and manageable size.
Unlike larger crayfish, CPOs stay small (around 1.5–2 inches), making them perfect for nano and planted tanks. They spend their time exploring, scavenging, and interacting with their environment—bringing constant movement and interest to your setup.
These crayfish are relatively peaceful compared to other species, but still have a bit of attitude! They can be kept with fast-moving fish and shrimp in well-structured tanks with plenty of hiding spots.
