Shrimple minded Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 LOL I would say that the mudding and sanding is the worst part, but something tells me you'll power through that and everything else by noon. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGardenofEder Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Finished the mud on the main wall. Also the wall to the left of it I was going to leave it be, but this dry wall really isn't as difficult as I thought so I'm going to cut it out and hide the cords and bring dry wall all the way down to the ground. Also I'm going to make a wall for the step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGardenofEder Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 There's like a foot of space missing where there use to be a razed floor with drawers under it and the cords were covered. I removed most of the floor and the drawers so now that part of the wall is exposed. I'm just going to cut out 10 inches of dry wall tuck the cords in and dry wall all the way down to the floor. It might be hard to tell by the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I culled most of my red rillis so my main breeding tank is mostly rrbb. I've always had challenges taking pics of my BBRR.

TheGardenofEder Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 My cpo tank is growing out very well. We added some pea rocks to the bottom and I now have 6 cpos in the tabk 2 solid and 4 stripped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGardenofEder Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Sooooo I'm kinda stumped. I have no clue how this has happened. As you can see mama is very berried. But I've never put her in the breeder tank she has been on her side of the ten gallon with a separator in the middle with holes drilled. I'm going to have to find out if the other cray in there is a male I thought it was a female. Both of these crays were to young for me to breed so this is very unexpected. Maybe my cray climbed out her tank into my males tank and then came back. Can crays get berried with out the eggs being fertile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Still new at crays, so I'm still learning basics. However I found this on line and it may help: Parthenogenesis? 6/11/13Hi. I bought an electric blue crayfish from an aquatic pet store in town about a year ago. It was only about an inch and a half long when I got it, and has had no contact with other crayfish since. A few days ago my girlfriend notice what looked like a shrimp in our tank. After taking a long, close look, I noticed that there were baby crayfish crawling about. I looked online, and read about a marbled crayfish that can reproduce by means of parthenogenesis. I read some more, but couldn't find any record of an electric blue crayfish doing this. Is it possible mine has reproduced through such a means?<It does sound likely. The Marbled Crayfish (or Marmorkrebs) is the most notoriously parthenogenetic crayfish and a species of Procambarus, while parthenogenesis has recently been reported among the commonly farmed and eaten Red Crayfish, Procambarus clarkii. Your pet is the Electric Blue Crayfish, Procambarus alleni, closely related to thesetwo known parthenogenetic species, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if you're seeing parthenogenesis in action.Cheers, Neale.> Shrimple minded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can crays get berried with out the eggs being fertile?Im am not very knowledgeable about crayfish but I will say I have experienced a tank of only female crayfish in which one become berried. The eggs were a very different color from the fertilized eggs that she had before when males were in the tank. The eggs slowly disappeared and no baby crays ever came of it. I assumed they were just unfertilized eggs as males were no longer present in that tank. Again this is just my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGardenofEder Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Just sexed the other cray in the tank and they are both females so I hope the eggs are fertile and hatch.
