Crayfish Journal (Cambarellus Patzcuarensis sp. Orange)

mine became berried 3 days ago. hoping everything will be fine. Got a whole bunch of moss and random plants in the tank but no breeding net...hopefully they'll survive. What's better, snails or shirakura shrimp food? I feed them teh normal shirakura and the
'special' version. They dont seem to jump on it but tend to drag a piece into a corner...after an hour or 2.
 
Well, I thought all of mine were female, but I guess they were just much too young because many weeks later I've caught them mating :D

Hello,
Sorry for such a late response. I didn't know people still read this journal.
Snails and any meaty foods are preferred and it helps them grow much faster. Cut back on the algae wafers, veggies should only be a supplemental diet. Main diet needs to be meat.
 
This journal really helped me with mine, thank you.
 
Awesome thread! I have read it many times, and still am amazed at how cute these little guys are! I am going to try and get some one of these days :)
