It's just me...

[eilebue]

Hi,

I'm a pupil from germany, at the moment I have 11 aquarium, one 240 liter, one 112 liter, three 54 liter, four 25 liter and two 12 liter. I would like to have more but my mother say the electricity bill is to high :cry: In this tanks I care the following shrimps Caridina japonica, Caridina simoni simoni, Caridina sp. Crystal Red, Neocaridina denticulata sinesis, Caridina sp. Tiger, Caridina cf breviata "Hummel" and in the next time I buy some White Bees. I have also some crayfish, Cherax sp. Irian jaya, Cherax cf. papuanus, Procambarus spec. (with the offspring I feed my turtle), Cambarellus patzcuarensis sp orange and in my gardenpond are some Astacus Astacus.

Hmm...I think more about me isn't important...possibily I post at the next some pics...you will see

by the way, my english isn't so well but I think you condone me that!? :D

Hey guys,

Ah.... Cherax! Nice! What's the length of yours? :D

[eilebue]

Hi kross,

the Irian Jaya on the pic, the male, is 10 centimeter or 4 inch the female one is smaller, before he molt hisself he was 7centimeter, at the moment I don't see she, she is in her ambush.

The both zebra are about 6 centimeter.

All bulks are without the pinchers ;)

Best regards

Nice crays! I am sure they are lots of fun too! How much are the retailing over at your country? I am sure they would be pretty expensive... Will be of breedable size soon! :)

[eilebue]

I normally don't speak about prices... but I make a exception :D

The prices for the Irian Jaya are here in Germany greatly different, I heard of prices about 200Euros per crayfish, thats to much, the normal price is from 25 to 50Euro per exemplar.
The papuanus are much cheaper, because this Cherax is breeding here relative often.

Whoa, that's pricey crays you have! ;)

I do keep these fellas over in Singapore, and owing to Singapore's great location, we do get these at much lower prices! So have you started on breeding them? :D

[eilebue]

Breeding, I hope they will be mate together...I will see...at the moment they don't like each other :shocked:
