I am looking for an interesting crustacean for my aquaponics system. Any ideas?? I would like them to run around and eat the food the fish leave behind. The cooler looking the better

Malaysian prawns are described as good in the USA by OSU here: http://southcenters.osu.edu/aqua/shrimp ... p_tale.htm Giant red crayfish (might be the same thing as Australian Red Claw which is interesting) are sold by the pond stocking place where I get my fish. In FLA you might have more options. EDIT: So wait a minute - red claw crayfish are the same as yabbies?!? I can get some! |

yeah, we can get redclaw..but they like warm water.. i've thought about trying them... stick fin farms sells them..(or did,the last time i looked) i have local crayfish, (papershell) a couple made it from last year, one is pretty good size, but they need lots of room look for what's local, and provide lots of "hides" |
