I managed to see my first blue babies. They are showing very nice coloration. I have been able to spot 5 of them, but they are very small. They look lighter than the mom.

Congratulations. They will grow fast.
My new babies are 3/4 of an inch now. Soon I will have to thin out their tank. And move them to bigger quarters.
keep us updated.

Congratulations.
I wish I could see some of my Baby Crays. This is her 3rd time carrying eggs.
I wish now, I had not put them in the 125gal.
It is very hard to find them.
Please keep us updated

I have them in a 75G tank. I just been training my eye to see them. I have managed to spot ten and move three to a smaller tank. They are very, very small.
Same female is carrying eggs again.

Newjohn,
If you have babies in your 125 you should be seeing them by now as they grow up pretty fast. Maybe your female has been losing her eggs or something. The first batch would be at least 1/2-3/4 inch by now.
At night try putting some pellets down in front out in open. Come back in 1/2 hour and shine a flashlight in tank. See who is out eating. I wouldn't think that the babies would skip out on a good meal.
Good Luck to everyone that has these. They should spread fast through the hobby.

Thank You for the suggestion, I will try that.
These are a few photos of my 125gal. It has alot of hidding places.
I have a hard enough time, finding the Adults.
I have added alot of leaf litter, since these photos were taken.

Leaf litter can make them hard to find. Try the trick and let us know what you find at night.

Well I can Finally say I have seen Baby Cajuns.
I was doing a water change, and happened to scare a little one.
I counted 3, I have large Pea Gravel as a Substrate.
And at there size, they fit right in between the Gravel.
I will try baiting them tonight. To get a better count.

That's good news. I checked my tanks. All 6 tanks I have these in now have babies. These guys breed fast and know how to fill up a tank.
Good Luck tonight.

Nice tank and pics, the rocks look really suitable for dwarf crays to live among (hide among too, apparently
). Do you have an UG filter in the tank?
