So I recently recieved a batch of baby crayfish from a friend, I am putting them in a 29 gallon, selling most of them when they reach the right size, and keeping a couple of pairs to breed them for profit to maintain my hobby lol. So, my question, neither I or my friend know the exact names of the crayfish species, and I would love to know the names so I can tell the store exactly what they are hybrids of. Also, what would be a good price per crayfish to sell these to a store for? I am in Texas and I have never seen these for sale here and my friend got them at a store out of state. I have attached pictures of both parents to help. Thanks guys!

My local has the blue ones from time to time, currently has some albino ones, they normally sell them for 20$ So I'd expect like a bottle of prime and maybe a pack of frozen food for a dozen. I like the more natural colored ones, pretty.
Someone here likely can actually ID them.
Props on not having them with other stock.

The red one looks like procambarus lagniappe
The blue one I’m not sure about, it could be one of the many p. Clarkii morphs.
Both are really good looking, much nicer than the typical red, white, or blue seen at most stores.
If you flip them upside down you can tell who is a male or female. They do store sperm, so it’s possible one is not one of the parents.
