Hello. I just got my first pair of crayfish yesterday. Got my shipment after two days.
And one of them has molted today. It was a surprise since I didn't expect a molt this soon. But it happened anyways and the process didn't take long, probably around 10 minutes.
But after molting, the crayfish stopped moving. I know it's normal behaviour so i wasn't concerned. I just turned off the light of the tank so that it can get comfortable.
When i came back to my room after half an hour, i saw the other crayfish tearing a claww of the molting one. I immediately moved the molting crayfish to a different tank but it hasn't been moving for over an hour so i thought it was dead.
now that i'm looking close, the intact claw is moving a little. It's very hard to notice though.
now my question is is there any chance it will survive? If there isn't this would be really sad because i have prepared for a month for these two and one would be gone without even spending two days here.
