They have such a nice blue colouring to them BV.

Goliath's claws wre huge after he molted!

How big do these get and can one live in a 2.5g hex? Because you might have to send me one from your growout tank or something. :P

Yup, you're right about that!
His dad was a pretty hefty cray too---and I've seen pics of him from the guy who sent me Goliath. He is currently still raising some of Goliath's siblings, and I plan on implementing Goliath's 'growth genes' in a breeding program I recently decided to embark upon with a couple of other collaborators. Should be some pretty cool stuff in store for the future...

Gerald, a 2.5 gal. hex could work, but it wouldn't be ideal---especially considering Goliath's offspring will get pretty big rather quickly (if they take after their father at all). These smaller hex tanks just hardly have any footprint to them. At full-grown, the cray would be pretty much confined to running around in circles. My recommendation would have to be for a 5 gal. standard footprint---10 gal.+ being much better.

Awesome...their color should be awesome cuz she's just an amazing shade of blue! Did she have her own tank? Now I'm wondering if I should put mine in her own tank? If those eggs are fertile, I'd like to raise the babies...and igf they're not, I'd like to get her a husband...

...hmmmmm...maybe from your brood?

GeraldTheMouse · 06-01-2008, 01:38 PM

Yeah, I see you're point. I was thinking maybe making a spiral formation out of rocks or something around the tank for it to climb around. If not, I can always transform my 15g into a cray tank. How well do you think one would live with a BN pleco?

Wow to bad fluffy passed on. I would have loved to get her a husband.

I MISS MY FLUFFY!!!!!!!!
