here's a lil something I found, not so much about breeding, but it might help a little
-
SQUEEEEEEEEEE
Please stop making me want more tanks. Please please please. I'm running out of room!
I'm with chibikaie on this one!
I haven't even started my first tank yet and I'm already planing all kinds of different projects!
Now I feel the need to try and start a selective breeding program on this crab to see what types of patterns and colors can be "popped"

I'm glad you guys worked through this and after some discussion and verification decided to name names. Many years ago when I first joined a forum for people who facet gemstones, there was a "code of silence" about dealers who were selling fake stones or never completing orders,etc. After much debate on the subject, it was decided it was time to break that code and when people started naming names, it turned out that there was one individual who had burned practically everyone in the forum, some for 10's of thousands of dollars worth of rough stones!
Of course I warn you to be careful with claims and not say anything you can't back up, but from that experience I can tell you a code of silence only helps the dishonest.

It specifically studies Procambarus clarkii too.
Sorry, had to change the title when I realized I was finding more stuff people might be interested in.....I've only scratched the surface on this info mining I think.....

crayfish production manual from Louisiana. Even if you are not interested in this type of production there is decent information here that can translate over to other species of crayfish. You can click on the link or download the attachment, same thing

Thank you government grants for making stuff like this available!

*sigh* now y'all done gone and did it......got me lookin' for info about some stewpid little crabby patty......
....my guess is you guys found this since it's the first thing that popped up when I Googled them, but I'll post the link for anyone unfamiliar that stumbles in here:

I know people use Marbled crayfish as feeders but has anyone ever ate one themselves?
In the past, I was thinking of using them for an aquaponics system but normally the fish used are consumed.
They breed fast and produce large numbers, I just took ~375 babies from 2 clutches and put them in a 40 gallon to grow up.
Maybe I'll have a crayfish boil and try it out
.These are exactly the types o' thoughts I've been having ever since 2 weeks ago when I first stumbled across the marbled. I feel there is a lot of potential in them.
-
I'd definitely be interested, particularly about marbled, but others as well. The marbled fascinates me with it's potential for applications I've only just started exploring. Guess I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and just get some soon and start learning what I can about them. It's pretty funny because Soothing Shrimp offered to answer questions for me about them, and I will be asking, lol. But I figured I'd get a head start and save the really hard questions by coming on here and asking about good links.

Welcome shrymprdan! I'm a total newcomer to this site and have been pouring over the info here myself. It is pretty amazing how much people have shared here. After reading lots of things about the various filters I'm pretty sold on the idea of the Hamburg mattenfilters myself. Look forward to getting to know you and everyone else here as we take our journeys through this experience, sharing triumphs and failure alike so we can all get better at this.
-
Welcome Rod! We are glad to have you, I am only about an hour and a half away from Tallahassee.
Just spent awhile on your you-tube channel checking out the vids. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post those. I love the idea of aquascaping. I'm a very creative person and the thought of making these Eco-systems and laying out wonderful scenery that will please me and my son and make the shrimp happy little campers gets me practically too excited to remember to breath
-
Yup! Hamburg matten filter! thanks! Was wondering about your frog picture, I had never seen a bumblebee frog live or in pics that had soo much black.

So many dyslexic's in one place.
I used to struggle so much with it in kitchens with other people's prep lists but now that I make them I'm fine... Its everyone else that has to make sence of them.
Hi Dendrobatez! Been meaning to say hey since I saw your name and avatar posted on another topic. I used to breed darts many,many years ago and I love the social aspect and climbing of the bumblebee darts. Plus that bird like call.
this place is great and I'm learning tons of stuff and very glad I decided to take my time and research first. On that note however:
Anyone: I stumbled across a filtration system that I loved and want to incorporate last night and didn't bother to write down the name of it because I thought I could easily find where it was...yeah, not so much.......anyway, it's a filtration set up that involves a large block of foam fitted across near one end of the tank and a small water area and place for pump behind it, what is the name of that style filtration?
-
No offense taken. I whish geologists didnt need math. I had classes in college where we were expected to calculate crystalline precipitate rates at a given temp and pressure in our heads. And then tell you what the new rock that formed was.
have a gneiss day
Which is exactly why I am a rockhound instead of a Geologist. Can't do math like that in my head because my dyslexia really comes to the forefront when dealing with number calculations in my head. lol.
On that same topic, is there a spell check option?
-
So how does this compare to U.P. Aqua Shrimp Sand? Or maybe I should ask what are the pros and cons of each?
-
Thanks for the greetings, and ideas put forth already. I'm gonna spend some time tonight just browsing the topics and taking notes........
-
Welcome.
have a gneiss day
Hey Metageologist, don't take this the wrong way because I'm a rockhound, but your name in here reminds me of this Calvin and Hobbes:

Howdy!
-
totally new here myself, glad someone brought up the topic of photography. I have a Cannon digital rebel and some macro lenses, so it's good to know I have a decent start on that part of this whole venture.
Anyway, from one new member to another, welcome!

Hello one and all
As the title suggests I do not have a tank or shrimp or crayfish yet. This all came about because I was redoing my desk area, and decided it would be really nice to have a small planted tank on my desktop. So next came the questions of what to put in it, how large a tank,etc. after finding what I considered a decent tank for the space I had to work with, (the fuval 5 gallon) I began looking at what to put in it. That's when I discovered the wonderful world of shrimp and crayfish.As I was doing my due diligence in learning about setting up a decent shrimp tank in that size range, my 23 year old severely autistic son went into a crisis situation in the group home he was living at in the Orlando area. As the crisis progressively got worse, when I wasn't dealing with that issue I found my mind wandering over to the shrimp tank and setting up a tank that the shrimp could lead happy little shrimp lives being the best possible shrimp they could be(corrolation much,lol) One thing has lead to another and we will be bringing him back to our local area and I will be his primary caretaker. Something that he has wanted for a long time is for us to have what he calls a "father son" job together, and I'm all for that, he's a decent kid with some complicated problems from his medical condition, but I generally find myself enjoying any time we spend together.
Sooo, among other projects for us to do together as "father son job" I feel rasing and breeding shrimp and crayfish on a small scale would be a great option. Many years ago I bred dart frogs and various lizards, and had a really sweet 20 gallon tall planted fish tank so I'm not a total noob in the area of setting up small ecosystems, but this will be my first foray into freshwater shrimp and crayfish. Fair warning: be prepared for a deluge of questions as I pick your brains on all the matters associated with this subject. I'm no stranger to forums and will search for answers already posted first to keep that to a minimum, but as I'm sure most of you know, sometimes the answers are buried pretty deep and not easily found, so be patient with me as I learn to navigate this site, lol.
With that in mind, and hoping that I don't offend anyone with this, here's my first question(s), and you can just tell me where the answer is if it has already been answered.....
The marbled self cloning crayfish: Is it edible? the reason for that question is I would ultimatley like to set up an aquaponic system and the more food that can be harvested from the entire thing, the better.
Anyway, howdy one and all and I hope to get to know many of you well as I have found many great friends in forums over the years, and thank you administrators for your time and dedication to setting up and maintaining this site so we can all learn from each other.
With Kindest Regards,
Rod W Bigelow

Marbled Crayfish as Feeders
in Crays and Other Inverts
Posted
I have come across several good papers talking about how ideal they are for aquaponic systems in that they can be fed to the fish you generally have in the set-up, produce excellent fertilizer for plants,etc. They can be used for people food, but they are pretty small. Unless one of us gets lucky and hits the right series of events to make them grow bigger, they probably aren't themselves such a great HUMAN food source, but indirectly as being an excellent fish food and nutrient rich water for plants, they seem almost a perfect part of a good aquaponics system.
