crayfish species?

I'd love if someone could help me figure out the species of my crayfish. I dont know any species names for crayfish, but mine both started out a tanish color, and now the female is tanish on the bottom and rusty on the top, and my male is a very pale blue.

my crayfish both molted about a month ago and they're quite large so maybe they're done molting. I know once scorpions have reached their adult size they stop molting, but I'm not sure if thats the same for crayfish. Either way, my blue crayfish turned white-ish after he molted like 8 months ago, and then he quickly became blue and has been a really pretty blue color ever since.

There are MANY sites dedicated to crayfish. See if one of these has the one that best fits your species:

Here is one of the blue morphs:
