in this case “them” are Mexican orange dwarf crayfish… but I’ve had this happen with fish, just as well…
today’s surprise caused me to over flow a tank… I had my 1/4 inch well water line running while I was feeding fish, then stepped around to the front of the tanks to watch for a minute ( a mistake when I’m slowly filling well water ) then all of a sudden 2 orange crays came rolling out of one of the rock piles, so I moved closer to take a good look… I had added a few of these, months ago to this tank, and never saw them again, but being a cooler tank, I didn’t know if they would make it… one bigger, one smaller ( perhaps a male and female??? ) but they seemed fine being close… I don’t expect they will breed in a 70 degree F. tank, but they seem to be thriving…
