***CRAYFISH ARE ON THE SMALLER SIDE CURRENTLY***
Crayfish, crawfish, crawdads, or freshwater lobsters are crustaceans that live in streams, rivers, and ponds. These crayfish can range from 2-5 inches in length depending on what are currently in stock. Assorted crayfish species can include northern virile crayfish or white river crayfish. Crayfish are semi-aggressive animals and do need adequate space and environment before housing with fish or other animals.
Please note the pictures shown are a good representation of our crayfish, but not the exact crayfish you will receive. These crayfish are for ornamental purposes only.
RESTRICTIONS: Crayfish are restricted from being shipped into PA. Missouri does have species restrictions so please contact us before ordering from Missouri. It is the buyers responsibility to check their local and state restrictions and regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
About our Snails, Crayfish & Tadpoles
Trapdoor Snails
Trapdoor Snails are aquatic freshwater snails that are tranquil, non-aggressive algae eaters. They will spend hours scouring your tank for uneaten fish food, algae as well as other edible material. Trapdoor snails can take a bit of time to adjust to their new environment. They are slow moving and very cautious animals, so do not be alarmed if they are motionless over a period of time. Snails are very hardy and are recommended for beginners, because they require very little care. Our snails range in size depending on age, but will generally by 1-2 inches. It is not uncommon for a trapdoor snail to have some algae growth on its shell. Trapdoor snails have live offspring. Our snails are raised in outdoor mud ponds. They can be placed in indoor aquariums and do a great job cleaning your tank, however because they are raised in ponds their shells are a dark green brown color.
RESTRICTIONS: Trapdoor snails are restricted from being shipped into WI. Buyers are responsible for double checking local and state regulations before ordering live fish.
Bullfrog Tadpoles
Bullfrog Tadpoles will grow into large bullfrogs. It can take up to 2 years for them to fully transition depending on their environment and food sources. Tadpoles will eat algae and small water invertebrates until they transition to bullfrogs. Please note that fully transitioned bullfrogs are carnivorous frogs and will eat small insects and fish. Tadpoles do well with any normal fish food and their diet can be supplemented with boiled leafy vegetables. Our tadpoles are fed with our mini pellet floating food.
RESTRICTIONS: Bullfrog tadpoles are restricted from being shipped into these states: AZ, ID, PA, UT, WA, MT. Buyers are responsible for double checking local and state regulations before ordering live fish or animals.

Fish Feeding
Goldfish can eat many different types of fish flakes or pellets. We suggest goldfish smaller than 4" in size are fed flake fish food or mini pellet floating food. Goldfish larger than 4" can have either the mini pellets or larger 5mm pellets. Be careful to follow feeding instructions as overfeeding your fish can be harmful for your fish.
It is common for fish to by shy or stand offish upon arrival. It can take them some time to adapt to their new environment and learn to come up and feed.

Real Customer Reviews
I’m a returning customer. I’m always pleased with my purchases. That’s why I keep coming back! Thanks much. 👍
I had to buy crayfish from here for a science class because our regular vendors did not have any. I'm glad I found Toledo. Their customer service has been excellent and the crayfish delivered healthy and active. I only had 1 DOA out of the bunch and the rest are doing very well! I haven't had this luck with the other vendors.
I bought 100 crayfish last year and 200 this year. A few dead ones, but majority were alive and kicking. They took to their ew homes within the rocks immediately when placed in the lake. After placing the order, they arrived very quickly.
Arrived alive and active. Took off the moment they were in the pond.
Service was excellent. I contacted customer service to schedule a Friday arrival date, and they came through. This is the third time we have bought crayfish for our school from Toledo Goldfish without incident.
