Ah...now make the rules.

How long do they have to be in the system for?? Catch them from the dam, put them into the AP, then a week later photograph and eat!!


That's where they came from in the first place, have only been in the FT since New year. The Barra have started having a crack at them I have noticed.

So do blue ones taste better?

And it can't be the cold, we have had 3 days in a row over 42 degrees.

I just fed the Barra, and the Yabbies come out of their 'homes' to grab the fish food, and I noticed a couple of the bigger one's are starting to go blue. I guess this means I have clean water???

These guys came out of a muddy but fresh water permanent lake on my parents farm, and they are a dark brown when you catch them, definitely no blue on them. They entered my FT around 3rd Jan, so not that long ago really.


Cheers

Question for the Yanks:

How big are these things when you catch them in the wild, and does anyone know how they compare to crawdads? (Also called crayfish.)

no, it has been a long established rule on this forum that small children, daschunds and beer cans are standards of measurement. And, all photos must include gratuitous toes. :brilsmurf:


True, I never take a Crab Measurer when I go out for Blue Manna (Swimmer) Crabs.
Just Beer!
A Beer Can is approx. 127mm long, the same as a Blue Manna's Minimum Size Limit!
Coincidence? I dont think so.....

Nice blue one's Rupe
I've recently found a couple of young blue ones and will separate them for breeding
There is something nice about the colour and I think it would entice those who are a little reluctant to eat yabbies
Good to see Yabbies come out of the wood work!!!
More pics everyone
