Marmorkreb - Self cloning crays, is my guess!

Yep, looks like a marbled cray

Keep em. And they you'll have tons of em.

Marmorkrebs have never even been found in the wild (they first turned up in the aquarium trade), so it'd be exciting and noteworthy if this animal was actually parthenogenetic.

I'm saying no ... could be another Procambarus (tons of species in this genus), though. Looks like an immature specimen, expect it to get bigger.

Guess we must wait and find out. Either way its free fish food :thumbup:

Honestly that doesn't look like a Marbled Cray.

The adult that I have is a red brown color
No marbling at all

Do you have experience with Marbled crays? Cause I have a 75 gallon with hundreds, used as feeders for my Fahaka. Some are dark brown, some light brown, others have a red tinge, some even have some blue coloring. I'll stick with the guess of marlbled crays... we'll see I guess.
