Check your PM. I've sent you the address since we are not allowed to do that here.
I bought myself a pair from that supplier. Very good quality, strong orange color. I already have about 8 juvenilles and the female is berried again.
Keeping them together with my green shrimps. The male is after the shrimps sometimes but they are much faster:cool:

[skratikans]

can these guys be kept with shrimp?

[Cold]

No problem to keep them with healthy shrimps, they are too fast. But sick ones will be eliminated immediately.

I have Cpo to but they are quite agresive,I had a pair but one was killed by the other one.Now i got another one but it`s so small(2,5-3cm with claws)that i keep him with red cherrys and i found one red cherry dead today.How can you tel the sex?i know about those extra pair of legs so the male should have 5 pairs without claws or does the female have the extra pair?
Can you tell me what do you feed them and in what size tank do you keep them?I had them only for a month now and i dont know much about them.
Thanks!

The male have extra pair, it's the reproductive.

Males are more agressive to each other. Trocado has answered the rest.
As for the tank size, I keep them in a small 35 lit tank together with about 50 green shrimps. I leave the breeding trio there and I move to another tank all the babies when they are about 6 weeks old.
Important to have many hiding places for the pregnant females and the babies because the male is ..patroling the area 24 hours a day.
I feed them Tropical food for Crabs, Shrimp pellets and frozen Mosquito larvae.

Hi,

It is true that the shrimplets fight each other to the death to have no competition in the future? Anyone have success breeding? Or just survive a few?

[Trocado]

I never read that they fight until a death, but they can lose legs and clamps.

[Yiannis]

If a crayfish is caught by the rest during or right after molting, then is gone.. If they just fight, they may loose legs and clamps - like mentioned above- which will grow back after next molting.
In conclusion, crayfish tanks must provide plenty of hiding places. This way the survival rate of the young ones will be good as well.

Exactly.Good explanation, thanks :cheesy:

Hi Varez,
I thought you were talking about baby crayfish. The are canibals, if the reason is competition or just they are hungry, I don't know. But it doesent change the facts, you need plenty of hidingplaces to stop them from fighting (adults) or eating (babys) each other. Good Structure and a maximum of surface is the best way to keep many CPOs in one tank.
