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.
The shell !
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.Originally Posted by Dscheng
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 spotEither way, its just part of the joy of keeping crayfish... watching them grab and eat prey using their claws.
I jus gotten 2 cpo at c328 at $5 eac. They are cute,shy and yet aggressive
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 !!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
Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
Guys, its moulting, not molding.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
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.
Yeah, thats mating process... blue + red crayfish = what color would be the offspring?
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?
I don't know le.. I never separate that out. Will it eventually lay egg?
Ya it happen to me too. One of my CPO died while molting
My crayfish hate plant.. and 100% uproot all the plant in my 2 feet... As a result, shifted him over to a 45 cm x 30 cm x 20 cm empty tank with internal filter...
And now, he give me a new problem is that he climb out of the tank often.. 4 times within this month..
What do CPO eat?
I have been dropping pellets shrimps eat but i think its interest is average.
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.
They basically eat everything. Usually i feed them with shrimp food / algae pellet, sometime it eat dead fish too. lolz.
Nice. I was wondering if u guys have water parameters required for CPO? I had one died and the surviving one i would like it to survive n breed soon
