Hi, this is one of the most common lobsters, the red-claw lobster. its scientific name is cherax quadricarinatus, and it is so common you can catch it in bishan park.

Haha, i think they are there because people buy and rear until they get bored of them and release them into the nature reserves. i went to bukit batok nature reserve to catch some last time.

releasing into Bishan Park is bad enough, if I find any one releasing them into the nature reserves I will personally place their pincers against these people's posterior.

to hwchoy: i really agree with what you said. i especially hate those people who release american bullfrogs and red-eared sliders, which end up competing with our native turtles and frogs. at least the crayfish wont compete with anything in bishan park.

releasing anything in the reserves is illegal (not just catching, contrary to popular belief) so if you see people doing so (catching OR releasing) speak up politely and inform them in a firm tone.

I once stopped my car along the way into Pierce where this guy in his car was letting his kid feed the monkeys. maybe I have a fierce face, but simply informing him: "please do not feed the monkeys." was enough to send him apologising and driving off in a hurry.

most people know they shouldn't do it, most of the them just need to be told off once to internalise what they already know.

But I think releasing this kind of stuff its going to effect out natural environment ecosytem. Just a matter of time.

One of the example its the Lohan fish. Now, most river in Malaysia are cover with this fish. They are fierce, territorial, destroyer, and kill of most of the native fish and shrimp. :-(

Last week went to some river for hunting. I was told by one of my friend, that there its crayfish on our local river.


Freaking dirty river. At first, kind off doubt bout it. Then I drop in "dry squid", my friend teach me. Then saw few crayfish crawling out!

Jump in with a net. This is what I got.


Small size only, 4 cm long. By the way, can some one help me to ID and the sex please? It is same as I posted early?

impressive! our decapod expert from Raffles Museum is currently on an island in the Indian Ocean, so we have to wait for him to get back to take a look at this. perhaps one of the guys from Crusta can help.

looks like the one you posted earlier, the colour is very similar. maybe this one is just a baby. By the way, these crayfis haer highly adaptable, they can tolerate dirty water, low oxygen levels, and ccan also walk across land to find water.

This is the video of the crayfish inside the tank.

That is definitely a red claw as well... Either it's still a juvenile, or it's a female... High chance that it's a female...

should be a female.... wait till it molts and unless you see any red batch on the pincers its male. mine gave birth and the babies looke either blue or grey in color.
