    The Everglades crayfish (Procambarus alleni), sometimes called the Florida crayfish, the blue crayfish, the electric blue crayfish, or the sapphire crayfish, is a species of freshwater crayfish endemic to Florida in the United States. Its natural range is the area east of St. Johns River and all of Florida from Levy County and Marion County southwards, as well as on some of the Florida Keys. It is included on the IUCN Red List as a species of Least Concern. The blue crayfish is frequently kept in a freshwater aquaria. In the wild, this species varies from brown-tan to blue, but an aquarium strain has been selectively bred to achieve a brilliant cobalt blue color.
    Procambarus alleni lifespan is around five years. With the right care, yours might live even longer than that!
    Water quality
    Florida crayfish are not too finicky when it comes to water quality. This is one of the reasons they're such a good choice for beginning fishkeepers: the little initial mistakes that might negatively affect other species are unlikely to be much of an issue for a crayfish.
    However, all this doesn't mean you shouldn't provide yours with clean water! They'll live longer (up to 5 years) in a well-filtered, cycled aquarium that receives regular water changes. It's also recommended to use a bubbler or give your Florida crayfish the option of climbing out of the water, as apparently they can drown if the water is not sufficiently oxygenated.
