    Baby crayfish found

    A crayfish I assume is marble disseminated offspring in the dozens which I recently counted as 15 surviving juveniles after having cleaned up the pond and transferring them into a 125 gal pond. I keep them with fish and turtles assuming some loss but nonetheless confirming the hypothesis these...

    Expert Crayfish Input

    I have posted here about a cray in Southwest Florida that appears to be self reproducing which, to my observations, was recently confirmed after having found dozens of juvenile crayfish in a pond I have where only one crayfish existed and that since a juvenile. Any experts have input as to what...

    Marbled Crayfish Experience

    I want to report there are about 2 doz or so baby crayfish left behind in the pond posted where this type of crayfish ( pic also posted), died. I can't but assume they're hatchlings from this one kind since it was put in there as a juvenile and solely by itself. Caught in a drainage pond in...

    Marbled Crayfish Experience

    Here is the juvenile I've raised. And here are the ponds. Now, if this crayfish gets pregnant with eggs how can we explain it? This will be the litmus test. For now, however, I need to raise capital it, though I have had others lay eggs at this stage.

    Marbled Crayfish Experience

    It's alive and well, about the size of my pinky now, still too early to take a picture of. But will soon. Will be buying s small garden pond in a week or two, then send a pic. I must say, however, that thrust of this message was the mortality of two crayfish I'd had, so any advice as to why...

    Marbled Crayfish Experience

    I have one crayfish I'm raising but IU must give it time to mature, depending it's still alive. I leave them alone when they're fry. It shouldn't be long, and if it's still alive, I will send pics. Now, this whole subject confounds me. I say this because 1), I thought only marbled crayfish can...

    Curled Crayfish Disease

    Hot water could cause a drop in oxygen, something crayfish don't like Not sure what happened, but thanks. I checked the pH and it's fine. One thing about Florida, however, is the water's really bad in summer due to toxins from storm water.

    Marbled Crayfish Experience

    Yes, I'm sure, because I feel since I found them as fry(?), or juveniles, thereby not giving them any chance to interact, that it was impossible for them to give birth. Nonetheless, I will see with this last one, if it survives. It is about the size of half my pinky, never had a chance to...

    Marbled Crayfish Experience

    I've caught these in FL, the self cloning ones. I know because I have had them breed in isolation. Think I have one now. Just wanted to say, however two died. One was losing balance and couldn't stay upright, the other found floating two days later. Albeit these are possibly the Marbled...

    Curled Crayfish Disease

    Died, and so did another, so my thoughts are it's a the hot temperatures stirred something up. 1, member: 151130"]Could it be shedding or damaged? What source of calcium is he getting?

    Curled Crayfish Disease

    Have had a crayfish since March, half size of my pinky now full grown, found lying on its side clinging to plant at bottom of small 35gal pond, seemingly with loss of thrust so at a loss what to do. Is it ich?
