Love these two. They are truly inseparable haha they follow eachother around 24/7 and even eat together!!

Hey all!

I have had an electric blue cray years ago that I purchased from a local Aquatics store where I was living a few years ago. Sadly the nearest store to me that potentially has some crayfish is over two hours away. I was wondering where all of you are getting these beautiful Cray's and if anyone has any recommendations for reputable online purchases. Thank you in advance!

Sup guys I have I pregnant yabbie (crayfish. I’m Aussie so I will say yabbie) and I have no idea how long until I will be expecting to see tiny yabbies going around. Yes I know not the best photo. Should I be expecting to see some dead males? I think I have 3 males 2 females. Please help me

title says it all. my sweet boy (who must believe he’s invincible) somehow crawled out of his tank and fell off the stand onto the ground—about a 2.5ft drop. this happened a couple nights ago, and i made sure to quickly get him into some shallow water so he wouldn’t drown when i put him back in the tank. after about an hour, i placed him back in his home and he was all good. it wasn’t until last night that i saw one of his legs was injured (second to last leg, right side, unnaturally bent). is there anything i can do to help him? or anything i can do to encourage him to molt so he isn’t in any pain? the last time i saw him molt was on 7/13/24–im not sure if he has since then and i just haven’t seen it. thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, one of my dwarf crayfish is berried right now and I’m wondering if I should separate her and the male until she’s had the babies. The male is high energy and I’m worried he might annoy her. She’s only come out of hiding once since being berried (that I’ve noticed at least) and the male and her squared up almost immediately.

I’ve got a little 5 gallon quarantine tank I could put the male in for a while if need be. These are my first crayfish so I don’t know if I’m being overly precious with them. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hello, I am a new crayfish keeper and I am currently cycling my tank to prepare the water for my future crayfish.

However, I have noticed several mosquito larva that have made their way into the tank. I suspect that they came from my self-made sump filter, which may have been stagnant due to my mistake.

As such I wanted to ask assistance for what the next step is. I have read other threads where they introduce fish to quickly eat up the eggs and larvae. Any thoughts on this and how much time do I have?

Thanks!

Hello all! Some of you have probably seen my many posts on here, but after a little while of trying to figure out my mistakes, I want to try and return to crayfish ownership. That being said, I have a couple things I've learned as well as a couple questions, all of which I want to clarify before I do. For reference my last two crayfish have died within a few weeks... so I'm being very careful about getting another one.

- I have a few large tropical fish in my tank, and they may have been harassing my crayfish to the point of dying from stress or not eating. My last few crayfish were very small because I wanted to see it grow-up with my tank, but that may not be a possibility considering the tankmates, so I may need to start off with one a little larger

- I've checked my water parameters, and none of them were ever out of the ordinary. That being said, the water hardness in my tank has always been very high, and I also heard that could be a reason for death? I'm looking now into ways to reduce the hardness of the water

- I've noticed the sitting-temperature of my tank water right now is around 80f-82f. I've read that crayfish water temperature is usually between 70f-75f, so I'm wondering how I can better reach this temperature goal. Any ideas?

- Any ideas on how I can feed my crayfish without its tankmates swarming the food and scaring it away? With my last one, whenever the cray would go to eat, the larger fish would swarm the food and scare it away. Any solutions to this other than the aforementioned larger cray?

Any help is appreciated!

My crayfish has been hiding under his turtle cave for 4 days now and he won’t eat any food I put in. He just mooted so I thought this was normal but I’m beginning to get worried cause he’s not eating and just hides under his cave all day. Before he was an active crayfish climbing trees and running around and now he just hides under a rock. I tried doing water changes and stuff but he won’t come out or eat what should I do?

I've owned my 2 crayfish for close to a year now. They are happy and healthy but I have not provided them a way to breach the surface. Should I make them a way to get above water? Or are they fine living their life fully submerged?

I somehow managed to get all 3 of my dwarf crayfish into one photo. Lol this is a historic phenomenon. 😂 It's so heavily planted with so many caves that they rarely even see each other. 😂
