Crayfish Pics

[Wippit Guud]

Right off, I apologize for the quality, all I have is a little webcam. Little bugger is also very active, he never stands still for a shot Lighting is just what's in the tank, and you don't get the greatest in color, but you can get an idea of the color of the sand I use

About a 2/3 shot of the 10g that's he's in. Running an Aquaclear 150, 100w heater and some rocks and fake plants. He ate the live one I tried to plant Sand is a few shades too light in that one compared to reality.

I need to get a digital camera. Sand is more of a burnt sienna or something, that pic makes it lookpink or something...

Behold... the (blurry) monster.
Need to get him when he's eating, he doesn't move as much.

You have the beginnings of a monster movie here. Just superimpose tiny images of people in front of the crayfish. I think you should name the movie "Claws."

Sorry for the silliness. What species is s/he? Is it one of those $2 crayfish or one of the fancier, more expensive kind?

$2 down there is like... $3 up here

She was listed as electric blue, and was a little more blue before she molted on Sun. Only $9 Canadian though, so I don't know the exact species (and my lfs doesn't know a species name from hole in the head)

it's cool looking!!!

what else is kept with it? ??

 

[Wippit Guud]

At the moment, nothing, although I'm considering getting a couple of zebra danio as 'target fish'

Actually, my ex is giving me her 10g, in which case the 4 black neon tetra will probably end up with him. I don't know how 'aggressive' he is, but he's a heck of a lot more active than I've read cray's to be.

i used to spend hours catching them when i was a kid but i haven't seriously considered them for aquarium use. they do have some really neat blue ones tho......
