Yes, they are notorious for dying mysteriously, not unlike the Marron, which is another evil. It will be nice to be able to sustain them in the future through knowledge sharing in the forums by all our bros, but I think it is still some way away. Let's just hope we do not take too much damage in our quest to keep these beauties of nature.

Orange tip meaning something like my avatar?

The males do have "meatier" and broader claws though, but require a trained eye to determine.

It seems that at least you have the temperature under control, definitely presents a better chance of survival. Bro destination3 used to keep them with a chiller, but alas, they didn't quite make it. Well keep us informed if you have any progress with the Koonac project, meanwhile I will post if I discover relevant information with regards to keeping them alive.

Wow, they don't come often at all. Did you manage to secure some pieces? They are beauties, with the orange tip on the claws especially striking. The differences in base colours could be just sample variations. Now speaking of it, I missed my old one. Maybe I should make a trip over to Y934 when time permits.

Bro Tualatin

Today i just bought a pc of female Blue Moon and will be getting a pc of male tomorrow.

And i have set up 2ft tank in a air-con room with black sand with a pc of sunken log for him to hide hope that when the male come thing will work out for both of them.

If breeding success will pass to some of you instead of you guys buying it.

Maybe you want to post a picture of your setup with the Blue Moon? It should be a nice tank, with the striking colours of the crayfish against the dark base of the sand. I believe the Blue Moon you are referring to is a Cherax sp.?
