There are plenty, I'm guessing you're not from the south! In the southeastern United States there are crayfish (we call them crawfish) that live in much hotter water than that in the summer. There are so many that we eat them up!!!

I have two crawfish in my tank, there fun to watch they push the p's around and they are a nice cleanup crew. Also whenever i redo my tank they patrol the border for a couple of days to make sure things are secure, its funny when they go opposite ways and battle to see who will get out of the way.
