My red-claws (Cherax quadricarinatus) eat frozen fish as part of their regular diet. They'll also hunt down fish and kill/eat them. I'm afraid that's what's in store for you with any fish you introduce to their tank.
 
thats looks like a stripped raphael to me, Platydoras costatus?

WHOA:Wow!!! I have never seen that behaviour with mine.Then again I wouldnt put one with small fish.
True to say they take no sh*t from any fish and any fish dumb enough not to learn that losses bits.I keep them for snail eating duties ,they eat them like peanuts:)
This is Reggie crayfish he is currently sharing his tank with 5 juvie Paratheraps Zonatus and an Indian river cat (Sperata Aor)I was more worried about him!

Cherax quadricarinatus has a voracious appetite you can kiss any plants in a tank with one of these goodbye.When they molt leave the shell in the tank they will recycle it.
I'll shut the F*** up sorry.;)
