first I wanted to say thanks for reading my thread .
I found the site below a few months back. it is very interesting and it has info about many kinds of crays and states what the largest sizes of the different types crays would,could,should be .
http://shadowraven.net/aquarium/fresh/invert/crayfish/Astacidea.htm
So what I am looking for is offspring from one of the largest type of the Americas breeds . because when I go to say ebay to look for a clarkii there . the parents of the baby crayfish for sale there are just around 5 inches full grown clarkii. maybe Because it was selected for color (blue or red or ghost ) and not for large size or production or temperament or anything commercial except for only color .
so what I hope to find is
Large individuals or large offspring from large individuals of one the many types of native 8 inch crays from the midwest that feeds the (mississippi ) areas and maybe even the Caribbean( if I have too) ...mostly interested in the P. Procambarus or O. type . I would like to have some here to watch and learn about each type.
I would also be interested in the smaller P. Limosus and O. devil crayfish if you have or can find these also, thanks.
I also would be interested in some large native fresh water shrimp but I think I need to learn more about those for now. so thanks for your help and if you have or come across any large individuals please let me know , thank you !
