Hi guys, I need some help on crayfish
I bought two pairs of crayfish about a month ago, i.e.: two pairs of blue crays and two pairs of orange-coloured crays (I didn't have much information on these orange ones). I think they are about 4 month-old (around 4 inches in length). They have not been moulting during these one month. But yesterday I found one of my blue crays, the male one; looked very very weak (sometimes he laid overturned as if he's going to die). I also found that one of his rear legs was easily broken. I've seperated him from the others in a hospital tank, leaving only him and some live fish to feed him. Today I changed the water in the hospital tank because the water smelled bad.
I read that crayfish would look very weak during his moulting. But it only last 2-3 hours before his moulting. Can someone suggest me what happened to my cray ?? Does he in his moulting period or is he sick ?? Should I be worry of his condition ?? Can I do something ?? Any suggestion ??
Please please help me...
Thank you guys
