sometimes crayfish prey on small fish. Did you notice any signs of the dead fish being attacked?

No, its a mexican dwarf, he is way too weak to attack anyone and he is super afraid of them
The neon was eaten, but i dont think its the crayfish fault, the platy was intact
The cpo been there for more than three months, and nothing happened
The cpo been there for more than three months, and nothing happened
P.s the tank is 6 months old, not 4, my bad
