Hello Boxers,

Has anyone tried marbled crayfish? What are your thoughts?

i wouldn't mind having one so i could get a colony for RA to eat...since they produce so quickly and all.....

CF and Fishlady,

Let's see how much money is leftover after the HAS auction! I was hoping that a boxer had already taken the plunge and could give a report on the crayfish. I was also thinking about having a source for feeders.

I want to know too... I contacted the first guy who was advertising them on craigslist a LONG while back. He wanted an outlandish amount along with an agreement I wasn't going to sell them. I asked him why he cared what I did with it after I got it since he was already advertising. Needless to say the conversation ended shortly thereafter. I would love to get one or two for my planted tank to potentially take them to school to teach self reproductive animals... but no one around me has any.

I have them at 1" for $5 ea. I am in Cleburne south of Fort Worth. Got about 50 with mom berried again. These guys grow fast. I got mine when the were about 1" in lated June. The first one berried on 8/2 and was 3" by then. They little guys fight some, I see a claw missing now and then but it grows back as they molt, which is weekly when they are small.

The one I got is more grey/black/silver toned....n not sure. Mine eats whatever hits the bottom, an I have guppies, a betta, and plecos in the same tank with no issues of it being mean to anything.

yeh mine is like a grayish color with some spotted dots on him as well...
