[Nepen]

Update photo.

The Crayfish are getting very brave and come out a lot now.

They ate all my sakura shrimp but one who's smart enough to hide higher in the tank.

I tried to sex them but seems like they are all female at the moment. Dont know if it'll change or not.

I read that they are good escape artists so you need to make sure they can't get out of the tank (by the word you I'm not necessarily meaning you personally just in general)

Just curious, What size tank are they in? I think they can get fairly big

 

[Nepen]

They are in the old guppy tank, so about 40 gallon. I never really remember.
I was planning on having them in my pond but I heard about them like 'taking a walk' too so I put them in the tank instead. They cant really swim, only climb, so it's not like shrimp that can go to the top. So as long as I dont have plant shooting to the edge of the tank, I'm golden

I'm thinking I'll sell 2-3 of them when they are older and I know there sexes.

Why not go one better my friend and start breeding them then you can sell more

lol Dave. If I have more a pair then I might. But I'll also have to get them their own tank since they'll eat the baby too.

Was poking around at the local Big Al's today when I saw the cutest thing... a tank with maybe a dozen tiny red crayfish, about 5/8" long. I thought THAT would be interesting in a ten-gallon tank! Looked over the labels on the tank, and there it was: "Miniature Crayfish ---$14.99!!
That's about a million dollars a pound! Guess there aren't any mini crawdads in MY future.

 

[Nepen]

lol. I know it's expensive. My big one is a male, I can see it now. I cant see the other 2 (or 3) as they are half the size of the big one. I'll see if I can have the babies

Mine will get big though... 6 inches..

 

[Nepen]

Update pictures, he's a biggin...

You can see the smaller one behind him.

 

[bettasngoldfish]

very cool!

So you think this one is a male?
