Cherax Destructor sex

Andrew, that last sentence is only true for the quads, I think. They're the ones where the males get the red patches (that do feel like jelly, like Black SUn said lol).
And the North American crays have like.....flaps over their gonopores. I'm still too new to these guys to be of much help, I think.

ah. well mine's a female anyway

 

[TwistedPenguin]

Yea, mine, too. I'd wanted a male. But I'm attached enough to this funny female that I wouldn't trade her for 3 males now She's a hoot.

 

[muskkeeper]

Nice find! I had a handful of them back in the day

 

[TwistedPenguin]

I'm anxious to see how big this one will get since she's a female. Have any of you had females to adults? How big did they get?

 

[muskkeeper]

My biggest one was 9" plus. without the claws

 

[TwistedPenguin]

A female? Or a male? That's even big for a male, wow.

 

[muskkeeper]

Male! And my biggest female was pushing 7"

 

[TwistedPenguin]

Yea-which is exactly why I wanted a male, asked for a male and was disappointed to get a female. It's ok now though, I really like this girl.

Is this a male?
