I remember you told me about it, its just when I called ( couple minutes ago ) they had none.
May be if, I can give my Cango couple live ones and freeze the rest

( it's OK to do that right )

I don't see why not,although the cray might feel differently about it. Better than getting eaten alive, I guess...
OD wasn't expecting a shipment of them today?

I'd worry about the claws. They can be de-clawed before feeding to the puffers

Jt has some and says he keeps them in a 10G tank. So you dont need a large tank.

If 10g tank is fine then I might get one.
Do Blue crayfish clone them self's as "easy" as marble crayfish ?
Cuz my LFS has Blue cray fish for $19.99

Nope, and they'll eat any babies too.

OK, THX guys
It looks like another tank then
I was thinking 10 gal tank, heavy planted with school of Cardinal Tetras and marble crayfish. That should work out right?

I think the crays will eat all of your plants. I remember reading that they really like plants.
