I will be putting the young, in there own tank.
I do not have a way with words.
What I am thinking, is not always what I am typing.
It is hard enough for me to type.
Thank You Again
John

I think that Mustafa has some blue genes in his cajuns as some seem to have a tint of blue, or at least mine do.

Yeah I got five Cajuns from Mustafa as well (one being a male)....
The first generation of offspring are just starting to reach adulthood and one or two of them seem to have a much more noticeable bluish tint than any of the others....

Mustafa,
Are you trying to breed the crays to so that you also get "blue-er"
ones like in the pics in this thread?

Honestly, I have never noticed any really blue crayfish in my tanks. If I noticed blue ones I would try to breed them selectively. Maybe you guys got lucky and the crayfish colored out after growing a bit.

I think they are, Mustafa. I know that I have a good 10 or so out of all I've got from you that are quite blueish now that they're over an inch.
You may have a goldmine.

The Cajuns That I received from Mustafa. Are varied in color.
2 are pale brown, 1 is in the Picture, And 1 you might say has a bluish green, instead of black markings.
Not as blue as in my other pictures.
I tried to get a picture of it ,but, by the time I got back with the camera, it was under a rock.
Lesson learned.
Always take your camera with you, when you feed them.

Hmmm..interesting. Well, you can give it a shot and try to selectively breed them to get a blue strain if you want. Then I can buy some of those blues back from you.
In the meantime I'll pay some closer attention to my crayfish offspring to see if any blue ones pop out.

I'll try. They have ALOT of hiding spaces in the tank, so it makes it difficult to catch the right moment. I'll work on it though!

No problem, man. I'm definitely going to try! I'll let you know once they start working their little crayfish magic.
