  1. OblongShrimp, Yes I agree , who knows if they are truly dwarfs , esp since they are new in the market and no one has any info on them.
  2. Doc, As far as small crays I keep CPO's . I myself would never keep them with shrimp but either way these dwarf blues in theory are smaller and less aggressive but no one seems to have their scientific name nor place of origin. I also see the Cajun dwarfs being sold as dwarf blues thus bit confusing.
  3. Stef, Oh you are in Louisiana . I have been there . I have a friend who in the 70s had a turtle, fish farm place there and later until the mid 80s imported exotic animals for the pet trade such as sloths , monkeys , even cheetahs , Those were different times with no regulations , heck no internet . People sold with catalogues using money orders or checks .
  4. Triton, I ordered 10 from Will which arrived yesterday and spectacular looking. I have no idea what grades mean with those SSS but suspect these are high grades . Crisp white and bright red .
  5. Bigger Jeeps are very common here . I love them but my wife is another story . Decades ago my brother in law had a Sumari jeep which as you know are like toys but they live in Key west and very safe for any vehicle.
  6. This particular pet store carries unusual stuff and the woman who owns it knows her stuff but yet nothing on the tiny blue dwarfs as far as any info. Either way I notice you keep rabbit snails . Some months ago they had golden rabbit snails which I never saw before. Very pretty indeed.
  7. I do not use FB but know the younger generation likes it . My daughters enjoyed it before getting married . I am not the most comp savvy person going and every 3 years when I return my leased car for a new one , I ask for non electric manual roll down windows and the old fashioned dial type non gadget radios . They no longer make cars with either of those features which ticks me off.
  8. Art, Have you found any interesting crays at the market , kept any ?
  9. ShortGirl, That sounds like them, The pet store I go to knows their stuff and the owner told me these did not grow over 1.5 and were not the Cajun dwarf crays . They had a few and pale looking as you stated but 2 were a very nice deep blue . They stood out . I regret not getting them but since they had no idea of their scientific name nor any care info I did not . They sold them all in a few days.
  10. Thank you Soothing. I did not see it there but that site was the first place I ever purchased crays from decades ago . Not sure if he even still ships to Florida .
  11. I sent you a link of the blue dwarf because not sure what the rules are as far as posting links to commercial sites . This is same blue dwarf my pet store had (sold out) . Think they got them from same source.
  12. Having purchased them from you last December , your pics do not do them justice. The blue is striking and very hardy and active .
  13. Anyone familiar with or keep the new "blue" dwarf crayfish on the market? It is not a Cambarellus dwarf , Cajun dwarf . I saw it for sale at a pet store but the owner did not know the scientific name for it nor much else .
  14. Glad I asked because I was looking at them for the future . Thank you
  15. I had a 55 gallon marine tank for 12 years with UG filter and skilter 250 (HOB filter) , using air stones good powerful air pump. It was archaic by todays standards but the fish thrived . The carbon inserts are small and exhausted so quickly that not worth it . Water changes and vacuuming the substrate is the key with UGF but they work . I do find the old style box filters which can also hold carbon besides floss and bio media to be a better option.
