1x Red Claw Crayfish 5-6cm (Lobster)
Cherax quadricarinatus
Description:This speciesis native to freshwater creeks and water bodies in
tropical Queensland, the Northern Territory and south-eastern Papua New
Guinea. It has been widely translocated around the world, and
is considered an invasive species. This species has established feral
populations in South Africa, Mexico, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.The Blue Lobsters colour intensifies as the
crayfish matures. Because of their selective breeding, they will not
loose their coloration, except in times of stress. They may arrive in a
brown coloration due to the stress of shipping, but will eventually
regain their blue coloration.
The Blue Lobster is a scavenger,
that WILL eat all of the left over food your fish miss, as well as
detritus and other waste off the bottom of your aquarium. Although this
lobster will eat dead or dying fish as well, it is normally too slow to
catch healthy fish.
Common Names:Australian red claw crayfish, Queensland red claw, redclaw, tropical blue crayfish, yabby and freshwater blueclaw crayfish
Proper Name:Cherax quadricarinatus
Country Origin::Australia
Diet: Omnivore - Scavenger Will eat just about anything but it is important to remember that the
majority of their diet is be vegetable. There are specialist foods
available but mine have done well on a combination of catfish pellets,
any flake food that will sink to the bottom, the odd plant, peas
courgette, cucumber, carrots and Bloodworm\fish occasionally as treats.
Size: 20cm Maximum (Male) Water Temperature: 15 to 30c Reproduction:Females,
which are smaller than males, spawn 300–800 olive-green eggs per brood,
which are fertilised from a spermatophore which the male has deposited
at the base of her walking legs (pereiopods)
during mating. Fertilised eggs are affixed to the female's pleopods,
situated on the underside of the tail. Incubation takes approximately
six weeks and the newly hatched
juveniles rapidly become independent.
NB: Due to natural variations in livestock, supplied specimens may differ slightly from the pictured specimen.
