For Sale: FS: Marmorkrebs marble self cloning crayfish. great live food, docile. Shipping

[suds1421]

I have some one inch juvie marmorkrebs for sale. Ive had great luck shipping these. These are the self cloning crayfish, theyare a great food source, extremely hardy and docile. I keep them with endlers and they do great together. Ive kept these crays in heated and unheated tanks. They LOVE earthworms and dive out after them.

Id like $1 each and I can ship three for $12.

Id be open to trades.

Any pictures? and $12 is shipped and all?

I added a picture, the mothers are very blue but I feed a lot of shrimp pellets so I think that's what does it.

These things grow like weeds and will be having babies very quickly

These are very docile crayfish but they will catch a fish. I have kept them with community tanks but I did loose a fish or two. I really like crayfish and the community tank really did a great job keeping the baby crays in check. The tank loved all the "free" food.

These guys do love plants, I throw in my plant trimmings for them to eat.

So all in all I think there is a place for them in a community tank but they have been known to catch a fish. I figured it evened out having all their babies eaten

I would probably advise against it. With the Betta's long fins he would be an easy catch for even these docile crays. That said I have heard of it working..

Was Just wondering would they do good in a tank with no filter but frequent water changes, I just don't want them to attack my cories and loaches.

I wouldn't suggest a non-filtered tank.

I do run sponge filters in all my crayfish tanks so that I avoid sucking up the babies and the crays love to eat the "stuff" off of the sponge filter. In fact that's how I know I have babies, it looks like snow on my sponge filter

Here are the filters I use on the smaller tanks:

You can drive them with a pretty small air pump, so their VERY cheap to run.

Awesome! They have those a couple blocks from my house. Thanks for the idea. 
I think I will get one for my upcoming fry tank too...
