Congrats badflash! Those look to have a lot of blue in them to me! I have 5 babies wondering around my tank now. I only have 4 females and only 1 has decided to give me babies so far. Mine were dropped on Christmas, so I really can't tell the color yet. It's hard enough just trying to find them in t...

Those are great pics! I love those orange ones.

The marble crayfish clone themselves. Each offspring is identical to the mother. All of the spots on them are in the exact same place. G. Whitney Stocker (Appalachian Man or Appy for short) did have a male at one time. Males are very rare, but do occaissionally occur. The reason the marble crayfish ...

Thanks Paul! Now I can hardly wait to find out!

That is just so awesome! I would never have thought to just hang them in a net like that close to the sponge filter bubbles. I still prefer letting mothers do their job if possible, but to save so many babies that would have been lost is just so wonderful! Am I correct in assuming there is no airsto...

Wow! Those are gorgeous! Do you have your method of artificial incubation posted anywhere?

I tried artificial incubation with alleni eggs using an egg tumbler for cichlid eggs, but I was unsuccessful. I would love to have more info on this!

Thanks Neonshrimp! That site needs a lot of work! I don't really enjoy site building either. I'd rather play with my crayfish!

Hey Terran, good to see ya! I've forgotten who it was now, but it was in an email the day I signed up here. He was letting me know I was being talked about. :lol: The reason I had never joined before was that I know absolutely nothing about shrimp. Even though I did get some Cherry Reds they just do...

There are glands on the uropods (tail fins) called glair glands that excrete the adhesive for the eggs. The female keeps her tail wrapped around the eggs so the adhesive is in the right place. The white glair glands are only visible on females that are capable of breeding, so it's a good way to know...

Thanks for posting the pics for me CanadianCray, I haven't taken any of the dragons yet.

I've never had a blue alleni get more than 5 - 6 inches either.

I have found that guppies will pick the eggs off of a female in berry. Do be careful with fish and your crayfish.

badflash, no i've never had apple snails that I know of. What is it that you want to see and know how big it gets? Thanks Jason! Many Thanks to CanadianCray, he has been a great friend for several years! :lol: Actually it was another member here that turned me on to this site. :lol: If it's ok I wil...

I am a true crayfish addict if that helps. I have clarki, blue alleni, white alleni, schufeldti, quadricarinatus and Hoa Creeks. Oh and I just got red-eyed blue alleni "dragons" this week thanks to a friend in Canada.

Beautiful babies Canadiancray! I can hardly wait to see the Schufeldti!
