both my red swamp died 2 weeks ago. During my absent due to power trip, then my HOB failed to prime... only red claw left in may tank... plan to get another, but that red swamp I buy before GST, and the longest crayfish survive, even when I bought it, his lost his left claw... anyone one to sell me a pair of red swamp?

All my marmokreb babies dies. They would just perish one by one after fails to molt properly. Until left with 3 with the size of 2 ~ 2.5cm. I thought they would make it but they too perish recently, all suffer from the same issue.

Can anyone advise what when wrong?

- water parameter
PH : 7.8
Hardness : 220
water change 20% every week
feed sinking pellets

My marmorkrebs drop all her egg... Maybe stress...

Currently use white sand as gravel... whick one better, white sand or ada amazonia soil?

Increase o2 by aerate the water... If they tend to climb, that the sign of lack of o2

anyone have male red claw size approx 10 cm? want to sell or give me... heheh... want to pair with my female one...

Sharing my 3 crayfish of diff colors. Btw, recently they are tired of fish pellet, what else can I feed? I read replies on top, eating frozen worm brings out the sharpness of their colour? Where can I get frozen worms/feeding fish & shrimp (really mini) in Klang Valley or preferably near or around Setapak?

Latest update! My badass white has just molted! Should I separate the red and blue away? But the situation is white has always been the boss for this tank. However, three of them are doing fine after staying for more than 1 week in the same tank. Each of them have own hiding place. Should I separate them? I'm worried if I separate them to some containers, they won't get used to it and fell ill. Advice please!

Why need to separate the molted crayfish? as far as I know...as long as you have enuf space and food for them. they should able to stay peacefully.

Noted: sometime breeding come after molting time but not sure the 3 pieces u have there are same sex? or do they cross breed?

Thanks for the reply. Btw, my electric blue passed away last week. I suspect is because white wanted to mate with blue but unsuccessful. Eventually, white killed blue out of anger. The assumption is supported by the blue one got all her limbs cut off. Second thought was because blue didn't had enough of food this have no energy while she is trying to molt. It eventually became death due to unsuccessful molt as she has got out from her shell. Please refer to the photo below.

Meanwhile, you're damn right on greater mating session after molting. Herewith attached the photo of my snow white molted for the second time on yesterday with larger claws now. Also, I have always thought my red and white are male. It turned out to be only white one is male. Check this out.

wow...congratulation. nice to see this. Hope it will success in hatching.

Wonder what will be the outcome? Red + White? like Lili shrimp??? Do keep us update. Thanks.

I stop the hobby for few years...now abit hand itchy to start back but just don't have the time and space for them

where do you get electric blue? mind to share?

They were not fertilized in the end. Like you said, those eggs she was carrying are probably from the pet shop and not from recent breeding. The eggs just died away.

Hafiz, I brought them 3 from Penang Pet Shop, beside Tune Hotel.

Hiw much per tail? Really hard to get those on my area... Sepang...

i heard they eat small shrimps

since they have the claws to catch one

Omg! Cheng, you sure cannot believe your eyes. My red and white really cross breed!! Check out the photos guys!

Only below RM20. Ask your Penang friend tumpang beli !

Bro, you're wrong then. I have similar thought at first only later I found out my crays are so lazy and slow when I added small fishes in the tank. I eventually removed all of them and released to big drain nearby.
