Hello everybody. I am new here, but not new to crayfish. I have a red crayfish, named Frisky, and a blue one, named Tiffany. We have had Frisky for a long time already, and he has molted twice. Tiffany is fairly new.


This is Frisky, the day we first got him. He was pretty small, only about 2 iinches. He was shy at first, but was soon active and playful (He had a lot of toys in the tank).


This was Frisky with his exo. He had molted about 5 hours before the pic was taken. He left a beautiful exo behind! This was the second time he molted.


This is after his exo hardened and his bright color returned. See those pretty red claws! Frisky became a little aggressive, but still likes attention. He is now 4 inches long.


This is a rather blurry picture of Tiffany. She is about 2 inches long and very dainty.

I really like Tiff. She's very purdy. Well they both are but she's my fav

congrats on the wonderful looking crayfish

Nice looking specimens you got there. Im planning on gettin a blue lobster myself. I fell in love with crayfish after seeing good ol' bluey at my LPS 2 days ago.

Are these crayfish together???? Your blue cray is a Cherax Quad & your red looks like a Procambarus Clarkii. These two types of cray should never be mixed as the QUad will get very large & kill the other. Aswell the North American crays can carry a disease known as Crayfish PLague that can kill the Australian Cherax Quad.

I think that they're separate...Very colorful!

Red cray - bright blue gravel. Blue cray - bright red gravel.

georgous pair of crays!!!

Welcome Fairy Mage,

Great first post! Thank you for sharing your crays with us and showing us those great pics especially that nice molting photo

Welcome. The pictures are nice. Good luck with your crays.

Folks...just wanted to alert you to the fact that this topic, including fairy mage's first post, is over a year old. I don't think she'll be replying after all this time.

Thanks for the heads up

All I seen was October. I never looked at year
