My LFS carries no freshwater inverts at all. I always wanted to get some Cherry Shrimp or CPO Dwarf Crayfish but they just never had any. One day I went in and was talking to a good friend and worker of the store about my tanks. I told him I had a tank just for CPO crayfish (that I purchased online) and he told me that he just got some in. We went to the back and they were selling them for extremely cheap. While I was looking at them he asked me if I wanted an Electric Blue Crayfish as well. I had no experience with them but I put him in a 30 gallon, separate from the CPOs. I never really saw the crayfish again until one day while I was getting fish waste out from some rock crevices I saw him, but he was brown! A few weeks later I was back at the store hanging out and my friend asked me how the Crayfish were doing. I told him the story of the Crayfish turning brown and he said that he had no idea why and was apologizing that they sold it to me. I told him that he only sold it to me for like 3 bucks so it wasn't a big deal to me. I just wondered why. I saw the brown crayfish again one day perched on a rock so I took this picture. When I got him he was blue but he is brown now. Any ideas or thoughts as to why?
