Thought I would share some pics. The two big guys are my cherax tenuimanus pair I just got from aquascape and the light blue guy is my male destructor. Enjoy

The destructor pair breed about amonth ago. I did not realize how sensitive the female was to stress, so when I did a water change she dropped all the eggs. I will breed them again soon. The cherax tenuimanus pair is acually a cherax cainii pair (smooth marron). I think they may be a little small to breed. I will try them this summer. Both pairs have their own tanks. I keep them divided from each other when they are close to molting or I am not home much. I am not much worried about the destructors eating each other as the cainii. They are mean. I learned my lesson the first time I poked one of them.
That's sweet, I love cray's mine is living in one of my buddy's tanks to keep it from getting eaten in one of mine.
My smooth marron pair is currently six inches. They will get over a foot in lenght. the destructor pair right now is three inches. They wiill get a very solid eight inches. I will be tempted in the future to try the non blue destructor babies with some butter.
