Hmmm, i'm new actually but i'm aware of colour changing due to environment , not sure how. But mine, im having white lights, black substrates, feeding of sinking food stick. my background was blue initially, changed it to white.

What food do you feed them with? Tetra Crustacean?
Nice photos of your crays. What is the other color/species you have other than the "bright blue one is cherax quadricarinatus" (seaview) and the greenish grey procambarus clakii?

Some food stick bought from seaview. I also have a white procamabarus clarkii. The greenish gray was initially an orange clarkii as well. All bought from seaview. Buy more stuff got discount over there

I heard of the 15% discount. How is it applied, what is the minimum spending?

Not very sure ,sometimes only few items have

I just bought a T5 light there and I think you get something like 10% or 15% off for equipment once it passes a certain amount. $20? No discount for tanks i think :/

As for crayfish food, in my experience it doesn't have a huge impact on crayfish color. Unless you get Hikari yellow magic for crayfish/lobster. It turns them yellow, but stains the tank. (I went crazy and bought a few packs when it first came out, do not recommend it.) Anything that sinks is good enough, shrimp food is also nice.

Are you planning on changing your crayfish color?

Me? Nope, just that my clarkii mix colour abit weird, looking forward to see what it will turn to, but i doubt it will molt again

I got two blue Cherax Destructor (those with big heavy claws). The color now is sky blue, but I am trying to get them to turn dark blue.


So far I have separated them and feeding on Tetra Crustacean.

I don't have a picture now, got from a fellow friend and he say it will grow up to look like this guy. Looks like a destructor to me.
But the two are tiny for now, about 1.5 cm each. I also have a orange red clarki at this size and comparing the claw size is different.
The orange clarki cost me $4 but this one is $25.
I will post some picture when I got time.

Ohh i see, Since its still young, i believe the light blue will slowly turn out to a nicer blue, like the one in the pic. My blue yabby also started out from baby blue, now it is bright blue

Just a update for u guys, my white crayfish lost both it claws after entering the blue cray area . My mistake for not fencing the area properly. Now it is 99% fenced, if any cray manage to enter again, i guess i will have to get a new tank

Here is me playing with my blue cray

[vistary]

The first time I kept crays, I lost my one and only blue clarkii to another white clarkii. Was very upset. The blue guy was totally reduced to nothing, just that I see "cotton wool" bits floating in the tank. I have since gave away the white clarkii and now I only keep two blue destructors and separated.

Does your cray actually manage to catch the fish in the tank? What fish can you keep them with. So far I am keeping a pleco as I see this is what Seaview does.

I kept a betta, 6 guppies, 4 feeder gold fish and 3 chinese algae eater in there, the fish tail will get nip of occasionally, but they will grow back. The feeder gold fish initially i thought the cray will feast on them, but they wont unless i use a chopstick and placed it in front of them. I lost 2 chinese algae eater before too, totally vanished.

As for pleco... i lost one before, totally left with nothingg
