Last September I bought my first crayfish pair, 2 months later, she had a clutch of babies, I thought fine, I can deal with it, about 6survived and I gave some to friends as gifts, But now its like every 2 months my "breeding" female has clutches of eggs and its getting to a point where even when trying to donate or sell, no one has interest, so I do need a a freshwater fish that could keep the population in check, any ideas?
 
hmm...some cichlids, or even loaches would work for the young cray fry, but I'm not sure about how well they'd do when the crays got larger
 
get rid of the female =/ everytime you see one get berried. give the berried one away. until you only have males.
