Make sure there is moss and lots of hiding places. Eggs will hatch, and the babies will need someplace to hide!

Once the babies have hatched(and left the mother), it is probably best to remove the female.

 

[MrsMoose]

I do not have another tank set up to place the male or the female once the babies hatch will bare bottom be okay or what should I do ?

 

[SubRosa]

Bare bottom is fine as long as the babies have a tank of their own. You may lose a few more to cannibalism than you would in a tank with hiding places, but CPOs aren't as nasty as most Crays so you should still raise a good % of them.

 

[MrsMoose]

Great thanks, I will move the male to a bare bottom and then her after she drops the eggs that way the babies can grow in the planted tank

That sounds like a good plan. Good luck with the babies.

Sounds like a good plan - best parameters for the babies to grow is; 80degF, 7.8pH, GH/KH of over 10 degrees. (GH18, KH12 is what I raised mine in)
Make sure there's a lot of hidey holes for the babies - I lost over 12 from one birth to fighting over territory (3 less hiding spots than babies)

Good luck with raising the babies!
