Trying to find out the difference between the different types of crayfish the why the orange the blue and this new type I've never heard of called a go I have some of I just recently got a white one and orange ones and a ghost cross, are any of them more compatible to live with each other than others might be and even help would be appreciated.

The ones that I know are generally friendlier to others are the marbled crayfish (sometimes), the marmorkreb, and the Mexican dwarf crayfish. Things can vary with other species depending on the individual and the layout of hiding places/territory.

Do you know the species that you have?

Orange Ghost Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), Tank-Bred! - Aquatic Arts

This is an orange ghost P. clarkii.

Which species are you looking to get?

If you keep a same species group, all individuals are around the same size, and there are more caves than crayfish, you may be able to do two or three in a 40 gallon or larger long term.

Sure thing! Be sure to keep a close eye on them around when one of the crays molts, as that is when they are most vulnerable to being eaten or injured. I don’t know if I would keep P. alleni with P. clarkii because P. clarkii has been known to be canabalistic at times.
