Re: Marbled Crayfish Breeding?
I bought one at the cichlid swap. I think it was around $6. I did take the big pincers off when I noticed the tail of one of my long-finned cories gone. So far they haven't grown back & I've had this guy at least 6 months now. I also never see any babies. I think the GF must be eating them all.

Re: Marbled Crayfish Breeding?
I lost the biggest cray and it was full of berries:-(
I more or less saw it die so i gently scraped off most of the berries and guess what! One did make it!
I placed a 3l pr.minute airstone next to the eggs and kind of forgot for a few days, then i saw the eggs turn orange and kind of fussy and just left them and forgot again.
Then a week or so later i wanted to clean out the 12g i had it in and i friggin saw the 4mm cray baby!
Now i've spent long time looking for more and im sure its a lone survivor...
Got myself a used Dual 45g setup including everything, a xmas gift from me to me.
Moved the last remaining of the original 3 i bought to live alone, hoping to motivate it to berry again.
The other tank holds 2 generations being 3 pcs 3-3.5cm and 2pcs at about 1cm
Ill leave the miraclecray where it is until big enough for the filterintake in the new setup.
Going to buy more to speed things up
Here in Denmark i pay round 40$ For 10 pcs private which is little less than half of average retail price
Wilma loves them and she deserves only the best so for me the only option is to breed and breed alot
She in return transforms all i give her to more fish, or so it seems, she'll end up being a huge specimen im sure.
Will post new pics of her soon
