Well, since my Marbled Crayfish had her first batch of babies, I do have to figure out what to do with them all. Most of them are going to be yummy puffer food but I figure I'll sell some of them since people usually want them. They're very interesting. So in a few months the babies will be up for sale, but only a limited amount. I'm not going to bother to raise too many to adult hood. So, if anyone's interested, I mean seriously interested, lemme know. I'll probably sell them for $5 each plus shipping. I can ship 2-4 per box for the same shipping price.

I live in MA, but I have shipped these before and everything worked out fine. Also the mom was shipped to me and obviously she's fine is she lived to grow and reproduce.
Marbled Crayfish are small Crays that reproduce on their own. Every one of them is a female and they all knock themselves up in a process called Parthenogenesis. The "Marbled" part is because they have a brown marbled pattern on their shell. They also have blue legs and blue tinted claws when they fully mature. They're a fairly peaceful cray and I keep mine in a community setting. She's only aggressive when it comes to food, so I make sure to feed everyone else on a different side of the tank. I do sometimes worry that she'll go after my Baby Bristlenose Pleco but that won't be a problem when it grows up.
As for maintenance, easy peasy. They eat whatever you give them, although variety is always best with any pet. I feed mine 2-3 different types of pellets (rotated every other day), Blood Worms, "Snail Jello", Algae Wafers, and vegetables. Everyone in my community tank gets that diet. They don't make much of a mess at all. Just give them some hiding spots and they do fine.

Aaaaah. Okay. Well, yeah they live in full on water. Although I've heard of them living in the wild in holes in the dirt, I think water is more appropriate.
