The water parameters for this species is as follows:

Temp: 22-24°C (72-75°F)

I essentially use tap water to breed them.
Genetics: It will/can interbreed with other Cambarellus species like montezumae, puer, shufeldtti, etc.

This outstanding looking crayfish is commonly known as orange dwarf cray. It can show  different varieties of tones of orange. They can be molted or striped. Their origin is not well known. Some people say the Cambarellus patzcuarensis sp. Orange was selectively bred in Germany from the wild form of the Cambarellus patzcuarensis which is from Mexico. Others say this wild form of C patzcuarensis was interbred in Germany with another dwarf cray in order to get their beautiful color. I have had the Cambarellus patzcuarensis sp. Orange for around a year now. Recently I have been able to breed them and am currently on my fourth batch at the moment.
