Why do they call it that. They are predators. I had one in the fish
tank and when the betta tried his tough guy act, the crawfish killed
and ate it.

In Southern slang, "to crawfish" is to walk backwards, like they often
do. When they sense danger, the crawfist retreats backwards into
hiding (as in beating a hasty retreat in a cowardly manner).

In 'real' southern slang, wouldn't they say 'crawdaddied'?
