they can self reproduce. get ready for a bunch of little crays!

 

[Chicklette]

Yes, they are not female or male, they reproduce on their own, lol. You will have tons of crays, congrats. They stick on the mom when they are born, it's cute. I "think" it takes two weeks to hatch but I've herd different things.

Keep us updated.

They can self-reproduce? Mine used to mate with no results.

 

[Pyramid_Party]

No. ONLY ONE cray can self produce. Crays can also store sperm. In your case your cray stored sperm. Yours is not the self cloning cray.

 

[Chicklette]

Only marble crayfish can and I have them. I have three that are pregnant.

 

[Dark Jester]

Marble crays can be blue in soft water, so it's possible that it is a marble. Otherwise I'd guess it stored sperm from a previous relationship. Have any pics?

Congrats on the upcoming babies in either case.

 

[Chicklette]

Any updates? Did they hatch yet?
