Wanted: Blue Marron (australian blue lobster)

[marxxx]

Hey everyone,

I am interested in getting some marron (cherax tenuimanus). Does anyone know where to get some for a good price?

Thanks,

they had some at my lfs for about $5 a few weeks ago, but they are all gone now.

Those were most likely not marron crays. I raise red-claws and have been looking to bring in marrons. But, I haven't found them for under $50 from US sources.

They are fairly difficult to keep alive. I have not heard of any "long term" success with them, but I would like to try again.

Oddball, you are right about the price, it is very high right now. I am not sure why though (higher than last year at this time).

I may have a supplier, I will let you know if it works out.

Thanks,
Marxxx
