Any wild caught orange crayfish?

[silane]

Anyone know if there is any wild caught crayfish which is orange in color? What species is that?

Hi Chris,

Have you come across wild caught Cambarellus Patzcuarensis 'orange' ?

Or Cambarellus Patzcuarensis can be found in the wild easily?

[chris lukhaup]

Ken, i cought Cambarellus in Mexico but never some real orange ones. I cought some more white or greenish ones and sometimes some more blue.
The C.patzcuarensis orange was breed by a friend of mine from Holland- Juan Carlos Merino.

Chris, I see.

What about this:

Is it orange as wild form, or bred form?

[chris lukhaup]

..that crayfish is a normal red Procambarus clarkii..nothing special.

In Lagunas de Zempoala (Morelos) I've seen Cambarellus orange morph but I don't know if it's an aquarium breeding morph released in laguna or a wild morph. In laguna there are some non endemic fish.

Yes, of course. It's not the bright orange of the patzcuaro breeding form.
I'm italian (look at the flag without eagle). We are not lucky in crayfish like mexicans.
We have only A. pallipes (italicus) orange.
