I have 2 Florida Blue Crayfish. When I got them about 6 weeks ago they were both about 3/4" long.
One has molted about once a week and has grown to 3" long body, while the other has only molted a few times and is about a 1 1/4". Can anyone give insight on this? The small one eats well, and both are the same age. Actually from the same hatch, one just seems to grow much slower.
 
I know you said the smaller one eats well, but does it eat as well as the larger one?

It ate until it would crawl away from its food. So I assumed it was getting as much as it desired. Doesn't matter much now. I came home last night to find that the big one got him during a molt.
