QUOTE(hafiz_tahir @ Jan 16 2015, 03:53 PM) Me too.. he just died... he cant survive... Crayfish is an escape artist... you must secure your tank so they does not escape... as for me.. they do try once via filter tube inlet but failed, then never bother to escape from my tank... provide some calcium rich food for them and if water ph low , put in some coral stone.some delicate mini crayfish like CPO and texanus require cooler water temperature like 27-28c. |

QUOTE(okboon15 @ Jan 23 2015, 04:26 PM) Hi shamn9, I got 2 marmorkreb from the same seller too. Poso got eaten Before purchasing them I did some reading on their behavior mostly from this site http://www.marbledcrayfish.com/welcome/general-info For the first few days everything seems normal, but later 1 has gone missing and I can't seems to find it in my heavily planted aquarium. The other one start to hassle its tank mate like poso snails and oto. Then one day my daughter saw it was chewing on one of my oto... and poso snail which I got from our good sir Arrow here. Its color also change from blue to brown. I have no choice but to remove it to a separate tank. I really can't tell whether it is a real marmorkreb, just have to wait until it berries I guess. Hope you can share some of your experience  ?anyway share my CPO with their shrimp friends. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(okboon15 @ Jan 30 2015, 10:31 AM) Yes sir, an expensive tidbits for the cray... I manage to separate them when I saw the cray nibbling on one poso. CPO aka mexican mini orange crayfish pose no threat to poso , dwarf shrimps and fishes. They are pretty slow in catching them.The poso hide back to its shell and never come out again... After CNY might want to start a simpler tank with not so dense vegetation, because the remaining poso has been hiding since and I have no idea whether they are still alive or not. CPO can be poso tank mates?  I don't know you into crayfish as well , i don't sell those large crayfish cos troublesome to house them..Lol. |

QUOTE(hafiz_tahir @ Oct 24 2015, 05:37 PM) At first im not believe but 2 of my lovely red swamp ended like that... It is because, during molting (when they out of old exoskeleton) they do it at open space, which is, 10++ ghost shrimp attack them... Thus resulting the fail molt, some leg not properly detached... After some time, i saw ghost shrmps picking the crayfish, yes its still soft... Bro, you can feed them canned food like the one in the picture. my mini crayfish and fish like them.Ghost shrimp unlike others dwarf shrimp... They are violent and eat whatever they can reach... 'Pembangkai'... Its not 1 mug cup... Just small red cup... For me no more ghost shrimp, plus, my cray seem not interested with then since they are fast swimmer.. Attached thumbnail(s)
