and my eggs just hatched tuesday and FINALLY yesterday i was able to see atleast 20 little baby blue crays walking aroung the tank. and quite literally all i have then in is a 10 gallon tank, one clay pot, 2 pvc Y pipes and an air stone. the tank is kept at whatever the room temperature is and i have one of those cheesy incandescant lights that comes with a 10 gallon aquarium kit. you have a much larger tank that i do but i've been advised to keep one male and one female together for mating purposes. Also when the female is "in berry" the pair should be watched to be sure the male isnt beating on the female. I had to keep my male in a 5 gallon bucket because he was clipping off the females legs!!!
