My Electric Blue Crayfish molted overnight! WOOWOOWOOOWOO!

He's my first cray, so pardon the excitement over the ho-hum occurrence, lol.

I saw him at a club auction and was so tempted, but I've been having trouble with snails dying in my setups due to suspicions of copper leaching into my water from the house's copper pipes.

I wanted to give this cray a shot because 1: he looking amazing, the blue is stunning; and 2: I needed to confirm that inverts would never be able to thrive in my house. I had a plan of action in case the cray started showing signs of stress or illness, so I wasn't just going to let him die.

Well, things have turned out wonderfully! I've had him for about a month now, and he molted last night, so I take that as a good sign! :)

So this is double excitement - 1 because the cray is growing healthily, and 2 because it looks like inverts are okay to begin introducing to my tanks!

So, I say again: WOOT! :perv:
