How can you tell the difference between Male and Feamle Crayfish? I don't want any more than two crayfish in my tank, but I want the possibility to breeding to still be present. Any images to clearly show the difference would be Great. thanks..

CrypticSins' pic is used to differentiate the sexes of most N.A. and european crayfish species. Australian species of Cherax (red-claws, marrons, yabbies, zebras, etc.) have evolved differently. Here's a pic to help ID those crays. Note that the gonadal pores ore on different leg pairs:
