Not the shrimp though, which is what they mostly sell, all different exotic and weird types.
My tank only has one fish in it for the longest time. It has a lot of algae growth due to the lighting, and the way the tank is setup. So these suckers thrive and basically live off of eating algae, so it's a great pair!
I got 3 of the "self cloning marble crayfish". And yup, these suckers will reproduce even if no other tank mates! So hopefully it will do just that, and they will help keep my tank in tip top clean shape. :)

Marble self cloning crayfish can actually clone itself. It needs NO mate to reproduce!! An absolute marvel.
This crayfish is not shrimp safe!

Marble Crayfish are said to have been discovered in an aquarium shop in Germany in the late 1990’s
Marble Crayfish Care
Unlike most aquarium fishes and shrimp, Marbled Crayfish are not picky about their water at all. They can be housed in extreme conditions and will be fine.
Marble Crayfish Diet
This aquarium freshwater crayfish is an Omnivore. They are decent algae eaters, and if sufficient algae is not present, foods intended for aquarium fish and invertebrates can be used to supplement their diet. Another great supplement is blanched (boiled until soft) vegetables.
Marble Crayfish Breeding
Marble Crayfish do not need a mate in order to breed. They are for lack of a better term "Self Cloning". Their offspring will be excat clones of their parents. They can even be grown in buckets!
Marble Crayfish Behavior
Marble Crayfish are non aggressive and cannot be housed with shrimp.
