  • I have tons of baby crayfish!!!

    Well, this time I allowed my florida blues to do things on their own terms and in their own ways.  I have at least 150+ babies running around the tank.  They run in and out of all of the adults...up the sides of the tanks... in and out of the caves and rocks.  The mom still has quite a few hanging on.  I am so happy :-).  I am guessing that the first time was practice... this is the real deal.

          Melt 5 tbsp butter
          add 1 package of Louisiana brand Cajun Etouffee' Mix
          stir over low heat until medium brown
          add 2 CUPS WATER & peeled crawfish tails, cover & bring to a boil.
          reduce heat & simmer for 15 minutes
          remove from heat & let cool for 15 minutes
          serve over rice & ENJOY

          He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

            ty ty...I am making the most of the single life again and enjoying the end of my summer vacation.  Lol ALL things must come to an end at some point lmao.  These baby crays are gorgeous.  And no...can't quite get a good pic with my old kodak.  I have some albino zebras that have already done the mating dance ;-)  and the female is holding... these guys are no where near adult size.  I have to admit..it is not easy telling the gender differences by a quick glance.  I am guessing it has to do with the appearance of stripes and the shiney more pearlized sheen of the males.  This is my guess.  I haven't quite looked it up online..but this is just from studying the al.zebs I have here.  It helps that when they were sent to me, he sent me like 16 or so... prob more.  ANyway... the baby crays are maybe 1/4" and so fun to watch...especially when they run into each other.  If anyone would be interested in a few of my blue crays, I can write your name down and do my best to see that you get some.  Yes...they do have a ways to go..but I'm sure I will get some out of this batch...especially since she still has some attached that she is still fanning.  I'm going to add more more hiding spots.  Loretta...how is Renny doing?

                  We'll have to get together sometime over lunch and swap fish tails ond other stuff.
