Overseas Crayfish

[ownu4free]

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

Thx, will take a look this weekend, whats the max size for a cray kept in a tank?

[thePractce]

I don't know either

I don't know either

How many crays u have? your largest one roughly how many cm :O

I just gave my adult clarkii up for adoption last week, that was about 10cm? I didn't bother to measure them. Right now I have 12, all juveniles cause i just restarted my collection.IMAG1494.jpgIMAG1493_1.jpgIMAG1448_1.jpgIMAG1510.jpgIMAG1443.jpg

How to know if it is at breeding age? saw a male at pasir ris farmway, was nice cost $15. roughly like my blue cray size

Really? I just went there last weekend and the only electric blue I saw was in their display tank, at mainland tropical fishfarm. Which shop did you see that one at? I've been experimenting on how to turn them into electric blue, ever since the 4 electric blues I bought turned brown The other morphs I have seen are Opal and White. Back to the topic, I normally judge them by size, other traits are: females will develop a blue tip on their claws, males will develop a red patch.

Some sinking pellet that i bought from seaview. i feed them one to one and a half stick per day. Then maybe bloodworm every 2 week. The blue cray will start digging when it get ready to molt.

Yes from seaview, looking for a male, dunno how differentiate so tikam

Easiest way is to tell from the claw size but you need practice. The harder way is to look at their underside, but in my opinion this is near impossible to tell for juvenile red claw crayfish (I normally look at the claws, if there are no claws then I will look at the transparent dots on the female) SexingCherax3x5300ppi-1.jpg

nice.
is this from the row of bottom tanks where they house the blue, red and white crayfish? Or is it individually packed?

[thePractce]

Row of bottom tanks. This is the $4.80 one. Don't go so soon cause after I got mine today there were only around 14-16 pieces left
