    This morning i was excited to see one of my CPO finally mold !! It had been restless since 2 days a ago. Finally get to see it shell !


    Before molding, you see its shell so hard and red.

    After molding, it seem like still sleeping when i take a picture of it.

    C328, at corner near cashier there. Alternatively, you keen to adopt mine? I'm doing a new aquascape and it'll take a while before I can put these guys back in. I've got 2 btw. Saw the smaller one prowling this morning. The bigger one probably hiding somewhere. The whitish line rock release minerals I think that cause the crayfish problems to moult.

    Quoted for the truth UA! I sometimes play a mini tug of war with them using carcass of a dead neon tetra to try get them out of their hiding spot

    Tks HBK16 for the pair of blue CPO !! Haha currently they are very shy.. mostly hide into my plant. But the colour is dark grey at the moment. Hopefully when they mold, it will be blue !!

    Guys, its moulting, not molding.

    Re: Dwarf Clayfish

    Look what i saw yesterday ! They are actually hugging together? During the 'hugging' process, no much sign of struggling. Is it mating? lolz
    The other CPO is actually blue colour, i adopt it from HBK16.

    One of my CPO died yesterday. Could sense the impending deaths when my guppies fry swimming around it and it was not interested in catching them.

    I just notice that one particular CPO is very big. Like 6 to 7cm, I am worried that it is not a CPO. Anyone can help to confirm?

    Wow, first time I see this! Is the left side the bigger one I gave you? Wonder what colour the offspring will come out.

    Bro, paiseh why the colour not blue anymore, hopefully it will be blue again after moulting. Err.. maybe you can feed it dead shrimp/ guppies etc. I recalled the bigger one loves to feed on carcasses.

    Bro, no need to worry so much about their feeding. I rarely see mine eat either but they moult and grow steadily no problems.

    Doesn't sound like dwarf crayfish to me. Dwarf crayfish tend to leave healthy plants alone. Yours sounds like the regular bigger ones that I used to catch from Yishun Dam. They will try destroy everything including their tank mates and all of them are 'Mas Selamat' wannabes, in the end I had to remove tall hardscapes and lay them flat.
