Okay so I have a 10 gal housing 2 adult marbled crayfish and a couple of their offspring who are still not even an inch in length yet. But today I got home and I saw a carcass of one of the adults (not a shed, a carcass, I can clearly see the difference.) Here's a bad shot but some of the remainders of the carcass being dragged away by the baby
As you can see the claws nor the part of the shell are clear and thin, they are solid, colored and fresh. There are also other large body parts lying around from the same dead crayfish.
However, what threw me off is that now there's a middle aged crayfish, I have no idea where it came from. It's about the size of when I got them, he's not even near adult so it can't be any of the 2 adults I've had, yet it can't be a fry since they were all born at the same time and aren't even a month old.
The other adult is still fine, she's actually the parent of all the offspring. I am so so so confused as to where this middle aged one came from, especially on the same date that the adult crayfish died
