Hi, I've seen such crays in Singapore. They aren't much different from regular crays eg red-clawed lobster or louisiana crayfish, juz more expensive cos of e nicer colouration. Perhaps u cld give him abit more time to get used to his new home. Keep e lights down and do frequent but small water changes to keep e water quality up. Also try not to let e water get too acidic as it's bad for their shells..
Hi sounds like you have a cherax sp called red tip or orange tip. Google them and take a look at the picture and let us know if that is what you have.
ok it is a cherax holthuisi. thanks for the info i was having a hard time finding anything with just the coman name. now i can find what i need. he is starting to do alittle moore but he still only eats about every 2 or 3 days and that is the only time he will come out.still dont seem right to me but now i can do moore research. thanks
