Crayfish molted: Pics!

[ewurm]

Rally, my Blue Crayfish, molted successfully a second time, I got pics this time. Always freaks me out to see a blue mangled mass in my tank, but it just shows that he is doing well.

I moved him to a smaller tank, as he decided my small loaches were tastier than pellets. He took out two queens and a ringed loach before I realized what was going on. Lesson learned. Anyone in the TC metro know where to get more Queen Botia?

With a name like Rally, you know he is tough! Chuck Norris tough!

I took those pictures when I was sitting next to the tank, and he comes over and starts threatening me. It was hilarious!
