I need to find out so I know what to feed my 7 crayfish

Answers:

Usually iceberg lettuce (the kind you put in salads and/or on a sandwhich for most people) is usually considered junk food for feeding animals since it really doesn't keep in the nutrients like cabbage, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, escarole, romaine lettuce, spinach, and other dark leafy greens do.

Romaine lettuce is, but iceburg is not. Try to feed them a variety of foods.

not all lettuce, i think all kinds except icberg

Iceberg is not.

No, I wouldn't think so! Because there is a leaf-lettuce, called just that! Leaf Lettuce, and it is dark green and all leaves!! The whole head is, dark green. That's the one you want to buy for your crayfish!! The dark-Green Leaf Lettuce!! Good Luck, to you hun!! Smile!

For reptiles, 'dark leafy greens' are things like dandelions, collard or turnip greens, and the darker leaf lettuces like endive or looseleaf.

I think spinach would be in that category.

No. Inactuality, iceberg lettuce has little nutritional value. Try fresh spinach or kale.
