Jmay, what kind of crawfish are those?

 

[Legit Fish]

those are marble self cloning crayfish i believe and they do not tend to be aggressive towards their babies many even let the babies grow in the same tank as their parents. background on these crays: their whole species of crays are all females and clone themselves to have eggs no breeding is occurred. they get about 6 inches more or less the max. they eat almost anything especially plants and low chance of cannibalism. they tolerate wide ranges of water parameters and they are so easy people bred them in buckets easily!!!!

and if that is not a marbled self cloning crayfish then i typed all that for no reason and i need to research more about my fish and inverts

Thanks for your responses everyone! They are just standard brown crawfish. I have a male and a female and they actually mated with each other. Do I need to remove them? It's a species only tank, other than the rosy red feeders.

Mines berried too. Are these going to live? Thee eggs seem odd not sure if it's the right color or not!!



How do I help them survive if these eggs do hatch?!

try craigslist.com, a lot of times you can find people either selling their tank that will sell you the rock or are breaking their tanks up. I found lots of rock on there when I was looking, and you can usually find some good, already cycled stuff.

Haha I dont think she is berried anymore! Looks like she is carrying babies!

Oh that's be amazing. But I've read they turn into little canniballs when the babies are born.. Is that true?
