Back on September 30th I wrote a post about my mother crayfish releasing her babies. You can see her in this shot above taken this morning. Over a few days time, I had removed a total of 270 baby crays from this 30 gallon breeding tank, and spread them around to various tanks and "holding containers". The few babies left in the tank with the mother, have turned out to be at least 30 more! Yikes. From the original 300, I expect I easily have 120 or more still alive.
The larger crayfish near the top is the mother of the 300 baby spawn. Two of the babies in this picture are about half her size at only three months. Although the original male died, I will certainly have no problem in procuring breeding stock.
