Crayfish Fry

[colbat1]

i could buy 10 of them...

Your not from Malaysia colbat1, so no you couldn't, and how on earth would you have space for 10 crayfish?

 

[colbat1]

my brother loves them he has a 129gallon

 

[three-fingers]

10 crayfish in a 129 gallon wouldn't really be that good an idea...

 

[colbat1]

why 130 gallon sorry

 

[fishboy619]

are you sure your not making this up?
130 gallon isnt going to make a difference from 129 gallon

 

[colbat1]

no i just rembered its 130gal because most companys make tanks in 10ns

 

[fishboy619]

still 130 gallons is too small.
a lot of companies make tanks not in 10's. 2.5 g, 5g, 7g, 8g, 55g etc etc.

Awww... They're adorable!

love the Anomalocaris avatar Xan. where you get the pic?

i wouldnt release into the wild again, problems could occur.
personally i wouldnt have cought the mother in the first place, i like to leave the wild alone, and bought a captve bred crayfish instead, saying that, the shrimplets are cute and look ace, and the mother must be happy to have them all.
try selling to a lfs if they will take them, or give them to friends,
just promise me you wont sell to a restaraunt,

predation among cray young is high, best to try and split them up. mom could do with being removed, as soon as all the young are free!!!

cant see a problem releasing them into the wild. they are alien invaders anyway, Redclaw are an Australian Cray. and tropical too, unlike all other Cray. put the littluns in some trays of water that comes about halfway up their body's. they will find their own way to water. im not sure about the type of cray you have there, but if you have any American breeds, you should take care, as these Cray carry the crayfish plague!!! though is is not endemic in Australia, the redclaw can contract it. for this reason i would suggest you do not sell the cray to a LFS. as they were wild caught they may carry the plague!!

I was a little cheeky... I found it on google images and resized it with Photoshop.

Anomalocaris was possibly the coolest sea creature ever! It's like a giant prehistoric brine shrimp!

And it reminds me of Branchinecta gigas .

The world of large branchiopods is very interesting .

indeed it does. lol though Anomalocaris was 2 foot long or more, and had jaws tthat could crush the heavy amoured shells around at the time.

i did once read an article that suggested the, Anomalocaris, may be related to these flying rod things you hear about! from what i remember the person didnt know what size Anomalocaris was.

Branchinecta Gigas... This is getting off topic, but I wish I could buy some Gigas eggs from somewhere!
