looking for a big cray

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What's the deal with the black crays? They need a crazy PH or something? I was looking into them as well a week ago and found that they are really hard to keep. It's too bad, they are gorgeous looking. :)

And always a fan of people who love the prawns. :nilly:
 
They have very specific pH, temperature and dietary requirements. They seem to kick it at the slightest error in the water, so you have keep pristine conditions for them. Personally, I haven't tried to keep them yet just because I haven't seen anyone keep them long enough to make it seem like a worthy investment in money. All the serious cray keepers I know, at best they got a month or so out of them before they kicked it. Gorgeous, though, one day I'm going to get them.

Prawns are seriously awesome. I want to get more, but I don't have the space for another tank... :(
 
those black cherax with red antannae are cherax preissii. they are a little hard to keep. i also would not order from that website, liveaquaria, they sold me the wrong thing and it took almost a month to get any kind of resolution. their customer service is nonexistant and the guy in charge is NEVER there. just a girl named nicole who answers the phone then will "contact the owner", which means do nothing until you call again in a week.
