Babies hatched last night and are clinging to moms underside. Moved to a 20 long till she drops them, then mom goes back to the breeder tank to berry again and babies grow out in the 20 long.

Babies dropped from mom today and back to the breeder tank she went. Babies are very tiny and clear at this point. 2014-07-24 11.03.57.jpg 2014-07-24 11.03.37.jpg

Hey I'm raising marmorkrebs ( marbled self cloning crayfish) so your crayfish went from pregnant on the 8th of July and dropped the fry on the 24th of july? Can I expect similar results from my crays? Or is gestation period a species specific thing with crays? Mine berried up 2 days ago. :)

Hard to say as these being dwarfs, they may not take as long. These hatched out much quicker than I expected that's for sure.
