I have a new mama crayfish. Just discovered four or more of my three and a half month old babies are berried...I didn't expect them to clone so soon, but hey, I get no say in the matter. ^^; Their mother just had a second batch as well, as shown in the photos of her newest week old babies. Yeah...snails. Bigger than the babies and those aren't even full adult ramshorns. Not very good looking ramshorns either(they don't seem to do well in my tanks for some reason, they do great in my 5 gal, but parameters are the same! Best guess is my crayfish scrape at them, which they do....very often and sometimes eat them).
This is mama with her first born brood(the female in the video is from this brood). Mama lost her blue during the month she was berried, spent it eating only java moss...lack of Spirulina kills the blue I guess:
This mama crayfish decided she didn't want to nest in the cave or plants(cave was taken anyways, I need to get another one, or several smaller ones for them)...so she built her own. Ever see a crayfish moving rocks and making a wall? I thought that was awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L_AdEucaUs
This is their mother berried with the babies the mom in the video is from, she's not as blue anymore as you can see in the previous photo of her with her first batch of babies, but she's retained a few spots. lol:
