Crayfish Question

What species of crayfish are people in the club keeping? (Legally of course). After seeing my CPO's spawn, I am even more interested in the different species of crayfish and contemplating expanding my collection.

well, full size crays are an ENTIRELY different ball game.

If you want another dwarf, get the blue/wild version of cambarellus; Cambarellus shufeldtii.

I do have a full size cray that I've had for 3+ years now. He's HUGE!! He has a tank pretty much to himself except for feeder fish that I raise. He's definitely a character and a lot more aggressive than the CPOs. He gets mad when I try and net "his" feeders. He'll grab the net and pull on it. LOL!

I'm definitely leaning more towards another species of dwarf crayfish for the time being. If I ever have enough tank space I may do another species of full size cray.

I currently have marmokrebs(legal in VA).

I kept "blue lobster" crayfish and they were pretty cool. I have kept a single one in a 5 gallon tank and that worked pretty well. I only put the pair together for breeding.
