I had suffered a couple of deaths early on to an unexpected nitrate spike and I hadn't seen any eggs, so thought I'd ended up with 3 of the same sex. This morning, noticed a few babies alongside the adults grazing away :D. All I can think is the adult female stayed hidden away once she was carrying the eggs.

That is great to hear.
Success, in this hobbie is always good to hear about.

I am still waiting to see any youngsters from my Cajun's.
The female has carried 2 times now, and still no sign of any little ones.

I hope that is just because they are in a heavily planted tank.

Please keep the updates comming.

Congrats seansd and best wishes Newjohn :) . I would like to try raising dwarf crayfish in the future. Can you tell me if they are active and get along with other inverts?

Thanks.

I have never seen my Cajun or Mexican's bother my Shrimp, except at feeding time.

The Cajuns seem to be alittle more active and not as shy as the Mexicans.

The Cajuns will be at the front of there tanks alot more than the Mexicans, which like to hide in the caves.

I hope this helps
