where are you from??

they are an aussie native species and are basically non-existant in the hobby, they are also a protected species, unfortunatly you will not find them outside australia

i could not find anyone in aus who kept/sold them so i drove over 4 hrs to catch them myself

oh.

Wow now thats cool and not cool. Cool because they are so cool looking and you had to go collect them yourself. Not cool because for a second I was thinking I need to look for another spot for a tank lol. I am in the uas...went over that way for my honeymoon. Awesome place...always wanted to go but sooo faaarrrr! The GBR was amazing! We started out in Sydny

Are these guys in a tank by them selves or with fish? I've got one about the same size which I am thinking about putting in my tank with a Saratoga, 6 - 10 inch clown loaches, silver shark Plecos and black ghost knife. I'm thinking if everything else is ok with the Saratoga they should be ok with the Cray. The claws and armour are more for defence than hunting.
