I'm going to try to catch and breed some crays...I had a bunch when I was a kid; with a fair deal of success
I'm intrigued by this statement. Please keep us posted on how this works. Sounds fascinating.
breeding crays isn't too difficult, you just need a fair amount of tank space...when I was a kid, I used a baby swimming pool...just have to make sure that amonia levels don't get too high and keep alkalinity around 7-8 and slightly calcified water. They breed like crazy in those conditions. If you're interested in breeding em, send me a PM, I can walk you through how to build a habitat and raise them. I think they're considerably more interesting than raising any other type of freshwater fish.
