Same here. I have 2 berried crays but have yet to see babies. I have them in a tank with no light underneath a table. I hope to look inside and see hundreds one day haha.

Im still kicking myself for feeding my last female to my puffer without waiting for the fry to grow up first...

Anyway, add some drfitwood / plants (plastic works) just to give the fry some hiding areas, especially if the tank is only 10-15G

I've got mine in an unheated tank in my basement. Water temp is prob 68-70 degrees. I wonder if that's why they're not cloning. Two have been holding eggs for weeks and I've yet to see a single baby crawling around.

I see baby's crawling but for me none have made it. Honestly have stopped paying much attending going to throw it in the tank for the wolf fish one of these days. That was the original purpose. But they do create a
Eggs after a week or two.
