    Default Crayfish babies

    Well, while cleaning out my 10g crayfish tank, I moved her cave, and BAMN like 50 1/4 inch crayfish came out. So this struck me as weird as this one was separated from the other crays when I had them, but I got rid of them over 2 months ago, so how did this happen, it must be at least 4 months since this one was last in a tank with other crays. Are they asexual?? Everything I found online said there needs to be a male / female in order to fertilized eggs.

    Also now there this big, do I start feeding them brine shrimp or pellets ???

    yes Marbled Crayfish are asexual. I have 3 in a 10gallon, and they also just had babies. TONS!!!

    Marbled Crays apparently dont eat their babies. Its the Electric Blue Crays that do..
