This I think would be a good idea if the only crayfish that lost his legs
was the smallest one. But that was not the case, This fish is small, like
not much bigger than some of the minnows in the tank, and the full grown
crayfish has started loosing legs. So if this fish had or was the culprit
then he would have had to eat a claw that was almost the same size as he is,
and that would be just the claw from the crayfish, not the rest of his leg
that he would have had to eat.

But I really think that it has something to do with the other full grown
crayfish in the tank. He is not the largest of the two full grown ones, but
is the most aggressive. Unless it is something that is missing in their
diet, and or something in the water causing it.

--> if your not to attached to that fish, analyize his stomach that should
reject or prove the idea of him eating them. Patrick Herbert
