Aegla red

Aegla Red, a unique freshwater decapod crustacean, is known for its vibrant red coloration and distinct body morphology. Unlike true crabs, they possess distinct characteristics of both crabs and freshwater crayfish. They are primarily detritivores, feeding on organic matter, algae, and small invertebrates. In the aquarium setting, their social behavior is prominent. Recommended tank mates are peaceful and similarly-sized fish to avoid stress and territorial conflicts.
