So I bought some crayfish a month or so ago and 3 of them have a bunch of black eggs under there tail. Is there a way to see if they a fertile?

Can you tell us anything about your crayfish? Photos of the crayfish and eggs will help too. Some species of crayfish can store sperm packs so if they haven't moulted they may be viable eggs.
Wow, so I went to take a picture of the eggs and I noticed some have hatched... I didn't know that the tiny babies still held on to the tail. Pretty cool. Thanks anyways.
Congrats!! The baby crays will stay clinging onto the mothers swimmeretts for quite some time. Sometimes the mother has to shake them out!
That's awesome, do you think I should put them in a bare bottom tank by themselves? And whats the growth rate of these guys because I guess it would be fun to breed them for my puffer.
I wish my pictures didn't turn out so terrible ( I have a crappy camera)

Bare bottom wouldnt be good, they need stuff to hide in and cling too etc. They grow pretty fast. Also without enough room and hiding spots and things to climb alot of the crays will kill/eat eachother.
