I have roughly 50 baby crayfish that are 3/4 to 1" long. They were born on the 30th of last month. These are for freshwater only, however I have some bigger ones in a low brackish tank and they seem to be doing well. Pet stores sell the adults for $20+! The pet store in jackson sells them for $22/ea. The blue ones aren't cheap and not many places have them. Mine are babies still, so you'll get to watch them grow up.

I have 5 adults (not for sale) all sharing a tank with my fish and they get along just fine. My only advice is to not mix them with aggressive or bottom dwelling fish. The babies might do fine with other fish in the tank but only if the fish are really small. They are bite-size currently and would make an expensive meal for a fish. Forget about getting your kid a goldfish, he/she would probably like these more as these are more funner to watch.

I would accept cash or trades. Trade items can be other fish, aquarium supplies/hardware, or?!? Cost is 1 for $10, 2 for $15, or 5 for $30. Thats cheap! I prefer local pickup. Never shipped anything live so I'm not sure if I want to go there just yet.
 
I saw your post on MFK and replied there. Here it is again in case you check AC first:

Bump for a cool invert.. How much is shipping to 46556? Is pick up feasible for the distance?

bump. Price structure has changed. $6/ea for any quantity. New rule, if you don't agree with the price then please just go elsewhere. This place is not ebay so if you want ebay prices then go there. Help support a member on this board and buy from here instead. Cash or trades accepted as payment. NO Shipping!

First pic is the daddy. He's in my main tank. The other pics are of the babies in my breeder tank.

I said no shipping because:
I've never shipped anything live. Don't have the slightest idea how to do it "properly". Would have to buy containers or something to put them in. Then perhaps add an ice pack to keep it cool in there. What about using bottled o2 which I don't got?? Then ya got to provide a warranty. Then theres the high shipping cost because I would assume they would have to be shipped via overnite service which is around $25. Just a whole bunch of work and added expense that I'm not ready nor looking forward to.

Still up for sale. Most of them are now around 1-1/4" counting claws. They getting darker blue as well. Help me get my saltwater tank going by purchasing (or trading for) a few of these.
 
I am really interested in getting one or two of these guys. Unfortunately, I live in Maryland and as you've said... shipping is a nightmare. I'm actually FROM Michigan (Springport--if you know where that's at). I will be traveling back soon to visit with the family so if you have any left at that time (probably 2-3 weeks) I will definitely get some from you!
