    I've not done it personally but I've heard of several people that have.

              thats 6 months worth of growth, I got mine from someone who got it from Fish are us, ( i don't recomend them)

              I have him in a 150 gallon tank, 48x24x31.

              He gets frozen shrimp and scalops, snails, and soon crawfish.

                  I watched Scott feeding his Nile Puffer a large crayfish. The puffer sucked the head and tail off within a couple seconds.

                  I know scott also had a bunch from the ditches around his house to grow out for fish food. The demasonis he has would rip them apart.

                  The Crayfish i had ate a clown pleco, and several guppies/mollies so i wouldnt keep one with non-aggressive fish.

                      If the africans are big, id think the africans would eat it before it could do any damage.

                      Put a baby one in, mine didnt seem interested in the fish untill it got to about 4-5"+claws.

                          The ones for sale for food are farm raised and xtra big.
                          If you catch the ones in the ditches around here they are 1" - 2"
                          not big enough to cook but great toys for a 6" oscar.

                          He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                            I had a crayfish with my africans for about 6 months no problem. Then one day i came back from the store and the crayfish was in pieces. I had 6 pseudos about 4 inches each. no telling which one finally got to him.
