it does with the head and the claws and all, freshwater too..but not yet that large, they're cultured over here..probably a different variant

cool crustaceans

These need brackish water to breed and hatch the eggs into. After the babies are born you will need to very slowly replace the brackish water with fresh.
It is a transfer process that is very tedious.

Can I raise macrobrachium rosenbergii on duckweed alone? Not for aquarium but as food for my big fish.
