I totally don't consider that a brag. I'd love to get into A. Lacustris. Will email in time. I think I was the first I have been able to tell to sell tank raised A. Laevis. Even if not. I want more to breed them. Hence me trying to share all I can. I'm going through a load of creature room moves and at this rental, The back shed (aspestos wall) I'm closing down but getting a new bigger double breeding rack ready for when I can start again and better than before. Today I brought in about 267 females 9ish mm carapace size up to 14mm, from those tanks into temp in house tank racks. But only got 5 males excluding the original breeders. I plan on adding more photos over the next month. And even more when I remake the new breeding racks come summer (or once the shed dilemma is resolved). Here's a teaser photo of over 100 in my hand as I worked through them ensuring all males were seperate.

Hi everyone. I have done a significant rewrite adding more information and techniques. Some of which is likely unknown by many. Enjoy. I plan to add more photos in the future. Winters end will see a big remake of my breeding tanks/racks. So those updates will be months away. Much else to do first.

Rare aqua is out of them for now. But I reckon he could, if it's not crazy expensive, or too dangerous for the crabs, or if there aren't any problems with regulations.

Hello, I'd go for A. Laevis in that case just as they are larger, i would only keep A. Lacustris with shrimp, Snails or REALLY small nano fish. Apistos would eat the crabs and if not the 100% eat all their offspring

U guys seem to be the ones to ask questions to then. I've got a 110 L, well planted, stocked with some tt shrimp and a bunch of nano fish. I also have a pair of apistos, and they've been pretty nice to the shrimp so far, haven't seen them picking on the tts (just my poor BNs when they were added). If I want to keep crabs in this tank, should I go for A. lacustris, and risk never seeing them, or them getting picked on/eaten? Or A. Laevis and risk them hurting/hunting the shrimp... or should I get a 10-20 L and keep a. Lacustris and shrimp? (I'd like to give breeding them a go as well, at some stage) Either way I want some crabs bad! Could either of u guys sell me some, as I haven't seen them anywhere else. Cheers, Crabclaw

Jeez that's a lot of crabs!!, Linden sure is the A.Laevis King and I the A. Lacustris King ?

I'm glad we have some experts here on fresh water crabs.
