Baby Cajuns!

It's been a long time since I've had baby dwarf cajun crays in my tanks. I'm not sure if these "count", since 2 of the females I received a week and a half ago were berried, but the eggs survived and hatched. I now have a bunch of tiny, baby cajuns running around in half of a divided 10g with 5 adults in with them. This has been a recipe for no survivors in the past, so I put in some small chunks of aquaclear filter foam and weighed down a bunch of guppy grass in various places to provide extra hiding spots for them.

This one was hanging out near the front glass in front of a piece of foam, so I grabbed a photo. You can see a second baby toward the left, slightly out of focus. Hopefully they survive!

Very cool! Congrats. Keep us updated if they survive! Hopefully they do.

Yay! for baby cajuns!

congrats how exciting

woooohoooooo

Thanks everyone!

I counted at least 7 of them this morning pretty close to the front glass. So far so good...

Cool!

And now I'm up to my ears in these little guys The babies are having babies!

I'm trying to get a striped male to breed with my adult females but I'm not having much luck with it. He lost a claw (even though he's quite a bit bigger than them) and the females didn't berry up

Good to know they're doing good! You must be doing something right with their water
