Just make sure they are legal in your area, as i've read it seems a lot of places in the US ban this species...

Sorry, you can't have this species of crayfish. It's prohibited in your state, unless you're able to get a permit issued by the CA Fish & Game commission. So, no one is going to be able to sell or ship to you.

You might look into a m/f pair of P. clarkii... they are cheap and very easy to breed. You'll end up with hundreds in a matter of months. I actually find them easier to breed than the Marmorkrebs sometimes, since they breed even in the worst conditions, haha.

According to the CA Fish & Game Commission, you cannot buy, sell or import them (and an increasing number of other species, as well), the last update I saw to this was in 2009. I haven't seen any changes to that since.
