Post subject:  Crawfish (yabbies) are tough!

Someone gave me a marbled crawfish and I needed to setup a tank quick for the little gal. I ended up using an old fish tank that was never really cleaned after its last use and full of mock in the gravel. It went through a major ammonia spike and I did a few water changes and now it's going through a giant nitrite and nitrate spike. Last night the numbers were off the charts and I've done a couple of 50% water changes and they are starting to get a little lower :)

What kind of filtration are you running?

Just a small hang on back. It's only a 10 gallon aquarium, but I'm thinking about placing a raft on top to test whether they will eat the roots from certain plants or not.
