The mother will only release / pop the " eggs " when they hatch and developed into tiny baby crays

If eggs turn white - meaning infertile the mother will sort them out to eat or throw away ...Neat pet to have around the tank to do cleaning up job

any pic of those eggs...seems interesting..

Ask shadowcaster to take those egg pic All my cray long gone

But if anyone dont know how to sex their cray ...etc I can help if pic posted of their underside

Hm... those river de...
i'll update my crayfish's photo soon ...
1 big and 1 small ,
big is aggressive 1 , small de still ok ..
but they are so shy >"<

hmm, you just post up some picture for us to see over the thread here.

If you wanna keep more than 1 crayfish in a tank, just get some PVC pipes, cut them up and glue them in stacks to make a crayfish condo.

Well ... these are the photos of my crayfish . Took it jz now when i change water for them.



*I don't have an oxygen pump, so i set the water level jz 1~2 cm above them ..



*the 2 pipes are currently their banglo home .. (do they recognize their own home ? becoz everytime i change the water , the red 1 seems like he know which are his home.. if the blue 1 goes inside his home , red will pull/push out the blue 1 and ocupy it.. pity blue , always get bullied by the red 1..)




*they like to collect batu and stuck their own pintu .. =.= anyway .. it's kinda cute ..


*they will scare if i watch them from on top of the aquarium. they will swim backwards quickly or hide in their banglo.
Instead , they will try to pinch me if i watch them thru beside of the aquarium .. (same height with them)




i already separate them with batu when i wanna wash the tank



the red 1 seems scared and wanna find his partner ..



finally they're together .. but sometimes they like to fight each other

*anyway .. gv some comment that what should i change or move ?
but pls dun flame me gao gao for anything i did wrong
this is my 1st time bela these crayfish

Nice. Long time I no keep crayfish already. Anyway, the best is having a larger tank. Crayfish like lots of hiding places so a few PVC pipes like what funkychips said is good.

They also prefer some plants, but then they do shred it, so fake plants would be nice.

And becareful when they molt. Coz after molting, the freshly molted crayfish can get eaten or injured by the other crayfish. Last time I always had crayfish with missing claws.... it is caused by fighting and it wasn't even molting.

I saw some red crayfish at Pet Family last week.... along with some purple ones... I think they are called Tiger crayfish or something, damn, I forgot my research already.

How do we know when are they ready to molt .. ?

so u know what type are my crayfish are ? haha...

and btw ... how do u guys feed them ?
