Big Daddy (Cherax Destructor)


Hi all. Newbie here.

I'm a cray fan & have enjoyed veiwing the Posts 'n' Pics on MFK.
Top stuff...

I'd like to share some pics of a yabby I trapped in my dam around 2 weeks ago. It's the biggest one I've ever caught. Now living in a tank......

He's blue, measures about 16cm, weighs 172 grams and his claws are massive!!! For size reference, the PVC pipe in some of the pics is 4 inches diameter, cut in half.

Enjoy ~ Cheers
