New pair of Cherax Sp.

[bUrPz]

Bought a male and a female today. They look like the Red Brick or Rainbow to me, but the shop just referred to them as purple. Hope to have a better idea after they moult...

The male prefers to stay in the open, while the female likes hiding in the cave...

Well, the male's tail seem to be in quite bad condition... shall monitor before attempting any salt dips...

They are housed in the 2' x 1' Jewel Rekord 600 at home... while the marbled will be moved to my office tank...

Thanks bro, got them from Serangoon... burnt a hole in my pocket... dunno got kanna chop or not... $30 ea...

Haha.. the 50 neon tetras i added initially got lesser n lesser when my marbled was in there... recently added a bag of 50 pencil fishes... will replenish with another kind of tetra when the tank seems more empty...
