How big do the blue crayfish get?
Mines growing much faster than i thought they would, btw sorry if this is the wrong section

i want to say 8" but dont quote me on that. you should be able to get a positive answer in the invertebrates section. either a mod will move this thread over there for you or you can start a new one there yourself.

I've heard of two types of blue crayfish (not sure if they're the same types).
The australian blue lobster(really a cray fish) which grows to approxamatly a foot and the eletric blue crayfish which grows to around 7", now I'm not sure if these sizes are accurate as these are just what I've heard from other people.

going on from PRW's comments there is also the blue marron (Cherax tenuimanus), another freshwater crayfish from down under and they grow to about 18inches, sometimes more. Any idea what species you have?

If your in the UK its probably an Australian Red Claw Cray or Cherax quadricarinatus as its the only legal crayfish over here.

There is an excellent profile pinned in the sub forum linked by Starfishpower.

He is in the UK, so he will be looking at a quad.
8" is a maximum, usually smaller.
