D: i would feel horrible feeding them to another pet but that's me, i dont feel comfortable feeding other pets my other pets, you know? thats why i will never own a snake. i cant feed mice or rats, it would make me sad  i like mice and rats! but the colours on them are fantastic. too bad there wasnt some sort of birth control for them, otherwise i'd consider one!! i am not sure either if they are legal or not here. so, i will settle for your amazing photos of them!  |

yeah i have a hard time watching them be eaten or the big crayfish catching fish. when i put the smaller second batch with the biggest ones there was a fight and i couldnt watch so i left  i really dont have another choice other than to feed them. if i had cichlids, then i would throw them in once they started roaming. i hate when people but lager (like 1") crays in with cichlids to be eaten. they can be swallowed whole, so that must be pain flu one of the babies downstairs had a lot of 'infertile' eggs but now she seems to have no eggs, but she is still hiding like she has some so far MC jr is the only one with a nice big healthy batch |

lol i can see how one of them would destroy an ecosystem. they need to change the breeding like rabbits expression to breeding like marbled crayfish!!

about half the babies on MC's tail are off.. time to start netting!! i have decided to put a plastic mesh divider in the baby tank. the holes are small enough so the big guys cant go it through and the holes are small enough for the newborns to go through, they will feed them selfs out |

the first and second bath will live together. when they have babies, their babies will not be spared and who ever lives, lives. and for momma crays current bath and all future ones i have decided to put a plastic mesh divider in the baby tank. the holes are small enough so the big guys cant go it through and the holes are small enough for the newborns to go through, they will feed them selfs out  it is sad they they all cant be saved but i need to do it |
