Unlike the genus Procambarus whose first pleopod tends to have three processes at the tip, Cambarus has only one or two. [2] Cambarus reach 17–26 mm (0.67–1.02 in) carapace lengths in their first year, while average adult carapace length ranges from 55–62 mm (2.2–2.4 in). [3]

Cambarus bartonii is a species of crayfish native to eastern North America, where it is called the common crayfish [3] or Appalachian brook crayfish. [2]

Cambarus bartonii is a very hardy animal. This species easily tolerates low pH values and thrives in cold waters. In this article, I will examine the biology, habitat, behavior, and care needs of Cambarus bartonii.

The Common Crayfish (Cambarus bartonii) and the Variable Crayfish (C. latimanus) are the two most similar species that may occur with the Chattahoochee Crayfish. Neither of these species displays the distinctive bluish-green coloration seen on the Chattahoochee Crayfish.
