    What are you looking to get? You can try your luck at Qianhu, Rainbow, OTF and Seaview. If you have the dough, you can consider getting lfs to special order

    Re: Overseas Crayfish

    Blue ones are called procambarus alleni, I bought mine at OTF, pasir ris farmway. Y618 will also have them from time to time, I also got them at $3 before. If you don't mind larger sized ones I just saw a few pieces at serangoon north last week.

    Re: Overseas Crayfish

    What is the difference between the two? I accidentally made an artificial blue clarkii before. Start off with a discoloured red one and then keep with whitish surroundings, have a T5 with blue light and just turn it on for a few hours every night. It will get bluer with each moult.

    Claw difference. My Clarkii slowly turning blue also. But i dunno if it will molt again cause it is quite big already. Around 3.5 inches.
    Here's my Clarkii:

    Re: Overseas Crayfish

    Nope, I didn't get them. Condition wasn't good enough. I went to seaview, C328 row of aquariums, qianhu and aquastar today. I was keeping an eye out for your blue clarkii but didn't see any. Closest was a female alleni at aquastar and based on observation they have the widest variety. I also found the blue one I was looking for there mine was the only piece! A little algae but gorgeous nonetheless. I got very nice a super red at an arowana shop near C328 at $10. Wish I could help you more.

    Re: Overseas Crayfish

    Yup, female's claws won't turn red but the red coloration but the red patches in males won't be visible until they reach maturity. One obvious example is the adult red claw crayfish you see in the tanks opposite the plant section at seaview. Its difficult to determine their gender at a young age but as a rule of thumb, when you compare two red claw crayfish. Pick the one with the skinny/less bulky/smaller claws if you want a female. (Do not apply this on Clarkiis) Your electric blue is a female.

    Was hoping to get a male to breed with mine. Do you think seaview sell young male?the whole tank seems to be of the same gender

    Yup, the tank is mixed gender. Its not obvious but if you inspect the claw size, the ones with slightly bigger claws will more likely be male
