If you got one of my cloning crays please listen. If they start to berry up and they will consider feeding some to all of the babies to other fish. They love those little cray snacks. I have done so much reading my brain is numb. They are a very invasive species I know that no one here would put them into the local creek or river but please do not give them away or sell them unless the person getting them understands that once they mature they will berry up with 100 to 200 eggs about every 3 months. That is what mine has done. You can see how many you can end up with. I know that I have fed more to my fish than I have kept. Anyways please be careful they are already in areas of Europe and Florida for sure now. And they are damaging the local crays by shear numbers. Boy some of that reading was such an eye opener. Personally I am going to get rid of all of the ones I have. Fish have to eat. I will be overrun when the 2 that are berried up have their hatch. Thanks for reading this.

Thanks for posting this George! If you have any to sell once they start 'hatching' let me know, I may get another from you. I'm sure my shiners (hehe) would love the babies so don't mind breeding them. Plus, I like to fish, and they make good bate (ONLY USE THEM FROZEN FOR BAIT!! Just in case they get off the hook). And I just got two new crays from the critter (two of the feeders...looking into the specific species) that might like to eat babies as well.

Cool Katie, I will let you know when they hatch and you can just come and get how ever many you want. Oh and the native cray loves eating the little ones so I imagine yours would too.
