2nd batch- 4 Australian Redclaw crayfishes,7 cm length

1 male, 3 females, bought on 11/10/14 @USD1 each, 7 cm length

Their ages are around 1 year old. These crayfishes look like very active for this age. It takes 6 -9 months for the crayfish to grow to adult size



Leaf can serve as their home/ shady place, besides using the PVC pipe

 

They like the shady place for them to hide

Crayfish EGG?

Today, I believe there are lots of yellowish round eggs in tank



However, a few days later, all the eggs were gone

I believe the eggs were eaten by her or the other crayfishes



Crayfish- sleeping on its side

Sometimes, we found out that they like to lie down on their side



Do the crayfish need to sleep like the human? Yes



Make sure don’t leave them outside the tanks for too long, they’ll suffocate



Without water, they could only survive about 6 hours, somesay 7 hours or 2 days



Crayfish Breeding-2nd female



Almost 1 month later, 2nd female with 1 gross whisker is laying eggs 



Yellowish round eggs are seen above the body



After 10 days, double check the existence of eggs by taking photo below the body of the crayfish



Unfortunately, the breeding is unsuccessful this time
