THE BIG ONE - Barbicambarus simmonsi
NOT THE SO BIG ONE - Regular American Joe
They both look yummy to me...

are those on a plate???

I have a crayfish in my 29 gallon tank, he (she?) just molted a few days ago! Hard for me to guess how long he is.. maybe between 3 and 4 inches, from tail to head. Each of his claws he molted are about 2 inches long. hope his new ones are bigger!

yeah, I was expecting a much larger crayfish. Honestly though, it wouldn't suprise me if people have been catching and eating them for years.
The giant crayfish is kind of scary. Imagine going swimming and suddenly thats pinching at your toe.
