I have an electric blue crayfish and I would like to put some plants with it. It's in a 5 gallon tank, no heater. I tried some Java Moss, but that promptly got shredded and/or eaten. Does anyone else have any luck with plants and crayfish? Here's a pic :):

Bad idea. I have a ghost crayfish in my 75 right now and he's gotten huge fast and eats anything and everything. It's my only non-planted tank. I've even seen him ripping off pieces of driftwood and munching on it :o Quite a character though, as soon as lights come on he's right up at the glass, waving claws begging for food. :)
Also make sure your tank is completely covered, I used to have a pair of white crays but my female crawled up the filter tube and out and I found her dead halfway across the living room floor the next morning. :'(

I have a Blue crayfish (2"-3") in my 125 gal. and so far he's left the few plants I have alone. I have java fern, java moss and a few water onion type plants in the tank.
