Hi Pedro

That is Great News.
I have found that the Orange Young grow slower than the Orange/Brown Young.

Please post pictures when you have time

Congrats on the babies! I hope they do really well for you and can hardly wait to see the pics!

Cool beans, congrats on the little ones. What is/was the key to success for you?

Have not been able to get a clean picture. will try later today.

My observations:

- They were in a 75G tank with lots of cover.
- They are a little more aggressive than cajuns.
- There mating is a very aggresive ritual and females were able to escape before it occuring.

My theory: too much space and hiding was affecting mating.

solution: Moved them to a smaller tank with not many hiding places and two of them mated.

Enjoy,

That is too cute! I think babies are what makes crayfish keeping so much fun. Those are nice pics too!

Have you been able to count how many offspring you have? Any idea how many produced per female?

I have seen 10 so far, but I can say there are only ten. Some might be hiding among the moss.

Thanks Pedro fro the nice pictures I think there are more littles ones in the tank especially with all that moss in there

These have been growing pretty fast for me...
