Hello there, I recently took in a crayfish from a petstore that had received him by accident. He came shipped in with their feeder goldfish, and they were trying to find him a home ASAP. They gave him to me but had no idea what kind he was. He has been growing pretty quickly. He's about 3" to 4" long currently, he was about 2" when we received him about a month ago. I have included a few pictures. I think I might have a guess as to what type he is, but wanted some opinions :)

Thank you! Yes, from his nose to tail, he was about 2" when we got him last month, he's about 3.5" from nose to tail now :)
 
The only i thought it mite be and the colour is right was the brown cpo but they don't get more than 2"
Let's try and narrow things down, what part of the world are you in, I know they get imported but a lot of the USA sell their local ones,
someone elsmay jump in now I've started but well see what we can do in the meantime

Yes I also thought he might be a cpo until he started growing this big lol! I live in California, but I'm not sure where his shipment came from, somewhere in the US I would assume. He was mixed in with all the feeder goldfish.
Crawfish > Crayfish, all day :)
I'll be honest, I don't know the difference lol
Looks just like my self cloners ..They all probably look alike .

That's what I was starting to think!! I wasn't sure because he is a lighter color than most of the pictures I've seen of them online, but I also know they can change color based on their diet. Nice clone hotel :)
