My new crayfish pair...with video.

here it is, they are doing very well for now.. im getting some pvc caves tommorow and after a week or two i will moved them to a bigger tank.

very nice... i need to send you some CAJUN crawfish.... they rule!!!

Sweet ,
are those little fishes swimming in there snacks for the crays ?
I keep some local crays from a crick near me , some Marble ( marmo ) crays (self cloning ), and both blue and brown Dwarf Cajun crays .
Post some pics when you get your PVC "caves " up and in the tank.Maybe I'll get around to posting some vid's of mine .

Actually no, those are my Fulu's fry i have left... i woke up this morning and they still there lol so im planning on removing the rest of the fry from the tank.., now i have a little problem, i found out this morning that the Female is gone!!!!!!, that tank has a cover but it has a big hole on the back, she probably scaped last night and i can't find her lol...

Oh wow escaped?

Come by soon and I will give you a whole bunch of PVC fittings for them and any other fish you need them for.

I knew that was gonna happen but Isaac is a hard head lol, i read from a guy online that always make sure to seal the tank top real good cuz they like to climb up and scape, i didnt cover all the holes on the cover and there you go... gone!! lol.

My wife was freaking out this morning so now when i get gome i got to find that thing!!! unless i wanna have more than 20 little crawlers all over the house..

Your cray went walk about !! I had one do that before I figured out that I had to completely cover the tank. Found it two rooms over ! Hahaha Actually , one of my dogs found her and was barking her head off ! LOL Good luck finding her . The eggs can not be without water too long or they will die. You can also keep the water level a few more inches lower.

Not yet, im still at work, when i get home around 6pm ill have to begin the search

Pretty cool!

I remember night fishing as a kid with my dad and one got loose from the bucket and was climbing up inside his pants leg! He stripped pretty quick!

lol that must be funny to watch!!

WOW that brings back memories. Catching them in the creek and then ofcourse letting them go.

letting them go?? lol i will be taking them home instead

we can catch 20-30 a day in a 300 foot stretch of our local stream in a afternoon .
Have some in out native tank.

awww! so cute I caught some at Canyon Lake once and put them in a 29 gallon and somehow they got out :( we eventually started finding them here and there in the house dead, my husband wants to get some for his pond hope they don't escape too!

i have a friend that works on a seafood company distributor, and they got boxes full of those native crayfish, he took like 10 home and gave me a pair...

I have normal little crayfish in my pond. The kids catch them then let them go. LOL! I had to teach them how to catch them without getting pinched.

We also have very cool salamanders in there. I believe they are northern red salamanders. Freak ya out when you are pulling weeds and get one in between your fingers and don't expect it!
