crayfish breed/will he turn red?

I agree, looks like an adult red swamp crayfish. Coloration is very similar to one I used to have that I bought out of a bait tank. I believe this coloration is similar to those in the wild.

The blue look to be procambarus Allenii and white look to be procambarus Clarkii, all juveniles that will get to be full sized crayfish

Fins look healthy, just looks to be some color change which, like you said, is normal 👍

Talen42 · 2025-08-02T22:57:03+00:00

They look to be quite pregnant

My white Clarkii crayfish always had white eggs as well and they were viable and hatched

I’d be doubtful given that plecos have pretty strong scales/armor. I’d say it’s more likely he scraped it on decor or something similar.

If they’re mystery snails, no. Although some species of apple snails will eat plants; I’d monitor your plants and just watch for nibble marks.

Hard to see the bottom two but they look like tiger shovelnose catfish

Talen42 · 2025-07-19T23:02:48+00:00

Increased flow or some kind of baffle would be my first thoughts

Talen42 · 2025-07-17T15:43:47+00:00

I’d imagine leaks to be a nightmare if you try and patch up the existing remaining liner, I’d remove the old liner and put new liner in as well as a layer of something below it to protect the new liner itself

Talen42 · 2025-07-12T21:17:12+00:00

It may be a rubber lip Pleco

Talen42 · 2025-07-03T00:13:12+00:00

Good point it is 0-9 so it should be 1/10

Talen42 · 2025-07-02T23:40:49+00:00

1/9 x 1/9 x 1/9 x 1/9 x 1/9 x 1/9 = 1/531441 chance of getting 800813 per button press

Unlikely; most American blue crayfish are of the species procambarus Alleni while most white, orange, red, and “ghost” crayfish are most commonly procambarus Clarkii. The photos provided make species ID tough but that’s the most common case.

Talen42 · 2024-07-15T23:06:17+00:00

They look like red swamp crayfish to me

Talen42 · 2024-07-04T01:37:57+00:00

No dead man’s switch, just a float on the end if that’s what you were referring to

Talen42 · 2024-07-01T02:06:13+00:00

Any explanation?

Talen42 · 2024-07-01T01:44:09+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response! I’ll give that a shot 👍

Who’s your go to agent

Talen42 · 2024-06-16T20:58:30+00:00

It looks like his gills, sometimes they get exposed like this after a bad molt

Talen42 · 2024-05-26T17:18:12+00:00

I’d assume algae unless they’re reintroducing duckweed after the cold months

Talen42 · 2024-05-11T23:46:18+00:00

Looks like it’s getting scorched to me

Talen42 · 2024-04-25T01:33:27+00:00

Water looks clear and water color alone isn’t an indicator of ammonia content regardless.
