This is my 5.5 gallon tank with 2 1/2 inches of water, is that good enough for a crayfish. It has a tiny sections that is 1/8 of an inch deep. It has a lid and airstone.

Looks cool, is there any specific reason you want it that low?

Should be plenty for a crayfish. I like the looks of it.

I wouldn't keep any of the larger species
The problem is that most (if not all) native crayfish eventually get rather large

Okay, the ones I've kept don't move at all really, they just sit and wait

Ok well I keep mine in deep water and they love it. They go from top to bottom one loves to hide in a fake floating log. If that's how you prefer it that's cool and it looks cool I like it it just isn't much water

It's going to be pretty tricky to keep water quality stable, since that's maybe a gallon of water.You might be able to manage a ghost shrimp, but I'm pretty sure most crawdads are too messy for such a small amount of water.
