Procambarus alleni (Blue Morph)

I'm currently attempting to breed the following crayfish:


Nippy (male)


Sapphire (female)


Mated pair

The pair have mated several times in the course of a two day period. They are currently residing in separate tanks, and hopefully the female will produce a berry from this encounter. This project's goal is a dark blue coloration, which should yield fairly decent results as both parents are beautiful and vivid shades of blue.


Sept. 10, 2008 Update: Sapphire has a big, fat tail full of eggs!



Approx. 20-30 days from now I should have baby Procambarus alleni hatching!
