HEY ALL!
My name is River and I'm absolutely new to crayfish and to aquarium keeping in general; the only things I know I've learned from the materials & methods of research articles I've read. After one round of crayfish (~24) I've finally gotten the hang of the general housekeeping things. Let's say I learned the hard way about cycling water, ammonia levels, proper oxygenation and most of the other aspects of crayfish keeping. I have been able to successfully keep 9 crayfish for the past 3 months.
I work in a crustacean physiology lab at UNLV and my goal at this time is to measure gestation periods in different environments to compare, the end result of this project is to figure out why the crayfish hatch when they do. There's some speculation around this topic, but not much solid research.
"It's crayfish when I'm researching, crawfish when I'm eating them"
