So, I hate fish. Well, eating them anyways. So I had to find something that I like to eat. In comes Mr. Red Claw Crayfish <--click link. Vegeterian, non territorial, prolific breeder, gets to 1.25 pounds. Sounds good to me! So I went in search of the elusive Red Claw. There were only a few people that carry them 2 here in California and one I found in Florida. The one in Florida is the only one that bothered returning my call and answering my E-mails. So they get my business. The place is called Stick Fins Fish Farm <--click link. I ordered them last week they shipped yesterday via USPS Express Mail and arrived alive and happy 11 A.M. at my doorstep. I highly recommend Stick Fins!
Here are some pics:
I love presents!
Arrived packaged well. Styrofoam box, care sheet, heat packs, double bagged with ammonia reducer pellets.
Yummy!

I had the water go down as low as 45 degrees for 2 weeks. These guys got very lethargic almost lifeless. My strategy is to grow them out from spring to fall. Babies and a few breeders will get over wintered indoors. Rinse and repeat.
Do you need a permit in CA?

Dear Chi,
I just found your wonderful story/experiment and thank you for the information. I look forward as everyone else to how you are doing in the next chapter. I am still in the 'thinking about it' stage of starting an aquaponics set up, so I thought I would look into crayfish/rice/other edible plants set ups (I know the Louisiana farmers do a rice pond/crayfish arrangement). Thank you for all the incredible information you have provided. Catherine.
