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 brows.gif  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.

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 sweat.gif

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.

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.

Be carefull with small/feeder/ghost shrimp...

They disturb my cray during molting, thus resulting in fail molt and die

What is a ghost shrimp? Hmm

Many pet shop here no stock for small shrimp. Any recommendations? Btw, can I add in algae eater to clean my tank? Will they live under pressure since my crayfish might always in hunting mode playing around with them, making them no life at all. Lol

I still think to add in some mini shrimp into the tank to live with the crays. Never thought those mini shrimp can be a threat to 5cm crayfish?

I try to use shrimp (feeder) as algae/leftover cleaner, but the posses threat to my crayfish during molting, when the cray still soft, they munch on the cray. Pleco also like that...

Seriously? such a mini shrimp can possess threat to crayfish which is hundred times of their size during molting. Meanwhile, where to get them in cup of RM1?
