My pet crayfish, Ronnie, digging out his house and mooching around a newly cleaned tank

As Ronnie seems to get quite bored in his tank with only 5 (previously 12) Zebra Fish for company, today I decided to fill his house (a flowerpot) with pebbles after cleaning the tank. It took him just two minutes to clear out enough stones to get himself in and then I filmed him doing his thing for 10 minutes on my phone.
Got some quite nice close up shots of him and his behaviour

They are Zebrafish yes.

Ronnie has eaten them, although I've never seen him catch one. We originally had 12 and within 6 weeks there were only 5 left, but surprisingly he has ignored those 5 and left them alone ever since. I'm not sure why, I guess either he decided he didn't like to eat them, those 5 were too quick or had different swim patterns and he couldn't catch them or they learned to avoid him. He had another one of them over Xmas but really they are there for him to take if he wants.

Indeed, but he's not very cuddly I'm afraid

Are those zebra danios? If so does he eat them?

Cute and housetrained - a rare man!
