Hi guys! I have a problem here.. I'm keeping several species of crayfish all similar conditions. My Procambarus, Dwarfs, Marbleds seem to be doing fine and berrying up. My Cherax's on the other hand, are being super lively and eating like crazy.. then one day just die for absolutely no reason. I'd think it was about to molt or something, but it just bones out and dies. So far my Blue Moon and Tiger Cherax's have just died mysteriously. No idea what's going on.

Each species has their own tanks that they are living in, so I don't think it's the crayfish plague at work here. Even if it was, there's no reason for just one in the tank to die while the others are all thriving and running all over the place and eating everything.

If anyone's got answers or links that you think I should read.. that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Could they be dying from old age? since i think Crays normally only live for 2 years or so isn't it?
