Dave Durkin, about your question of 2' deep tanks suitable for redclaws? Yes. I use 18" deep wading pools, same as stick-fins in Florida. Look up stick-fin website, there are pictures of dozens of them, some with 2' tall skirting to prevent walkabout, but all definitely less than 18" deep water. Mine fluctuate between 12-16"

hi Che Ma, how are your red claw doing?

Comment by Conrad Chin-Yee on January 8, 2012 at 4:05am

Dave, Don't you think that if the package calls them Red Lobsters that they are the same as the Red Claw Crayfish since the RCC is used as a substitute lobster?

Where did you order them from and where were they shipped to?

I was looking for red claw, but the closest thing I could find was a red crayfish. I ordered 10. When they arrived, the package calls them Red Lobster.. I would guess they will help with keeping my tank clean, but will not grow big enough to eat.

Or

Did I do it all wrong?

@ Lance me too.

1. The babies like clean water. the adults not so much.

2. The adults aren't cannibalistic but the young are.

3. When the adults don't like the water conditions they'll tell you buy climbing out of the tank and dying in the most inaccessible spot and smelling up the garage.

4. Java Moss is super stuff to keep babies alive.

5. I sell more as pets than to be eaten

I've been working with these since Feb. Not very long but long  enough to learn a few hard lessons.
