I got a SINGLE shrimp/crayfish as a gift last year.
Dump it into a tank with some tropical fish.

She start having baby (dont know how)
Then the mother died.
There around 8~ or more babies

I want to know what kind of shrimp/crayfish they are.

They are possibly around 3 or 4 months old. Didn't discover them until they are a CM long.
Some of them are blueish and some of them and brownish.

Some sort of cray, how big was mom? They all born at the same time or was there more then one batch? How long after getting the mother do you think she had them?

Probably Marmo's like said above

Depending on size, she likely had them at least two months ago. They will eventually eat eachother, so I'd get rid of some.

Its been a while since i've managed to find any Marmokrebs, but they do seem to look like it could be...

Was the original more of a brownish color to begin with? Since i've heard that depending on water parameters, they can turn from Brownish color to Blue, and sometimes slightly more reddish brown...
