The problem especially "Crayfish" still grow up the same but what you call a Crayfish in USA it could be totally different to ours in Aust. We have FW and SW Crays and they are different in colour and shape, Even our SW Crays are different colours as well. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

| Dolf Enthusiast Posts: 203 Kudos: 180 Votes: 46 Registered: 09-May-2004 | Thanks for the replies. By crayfish I am refering to the Northern American Cray, orconectes virilis. It is similar the Yabby in Australia. They are native to the midwest and are an imported pest fish here in Arizona. Occasionally they do find their way into my mosquito fish pond. When I found the shrimp it made me wonder. Now that he is in an aquarium it is obvious he is a little feeder shrimp. I still have no idea how he could have gotten in the pond as I haven't recieved any shipments of fish since last summer. |

Maybe a few was able to escape being eaten and now have started to grow and multiply themselves.   TTFN --->Ta-Ta-For-Now Kelly ;o} |
