New stuff... color question

[skar]

Got some cool new inhabitants!!
Question is for dwarf cray... bought as a blue but the tiny guy looks just translucent brown... will that change as he grows ?

 

[Momgoose56]

I know zero stuff about crayfish except how to cook'em but yours is spoiled rotten by that awesome tank lol!

 

[StarGirl]

WOW that is a great tank! Good job! AND I know nothing about crayfish.....sorry

Dwarf blues don't colour up as much as larger blue crays. I've seen them mostly grey. It will likely gain a bit more colour as it ages I would believe. You have such lovely tanks skar!

Thank you Feohw StarGirl15 Momgoose56 I appreciate the comments.

The crays in the pics looked like a pretty grey blue.. :/
At least he's a quirky lil dude.

Perhaps wait until he molts. Than he may be blue!
Well good luck finding him in that garden of a tank of yours!

Don't worry, it still has time to colour up. They don't get as much colour as larger crays, but they do get some. I'll link a thread here of what it may colour up to look like. Post #7. This thread. Those I have seen have likely been young too. They are so cute even if the colour isn't what you wanted. Hopefully it will colour up for you.

How big is that tank?

 

[skar]

Ha ha BlackSkirtTetra you know that's soooo true !!

Thank you again Feohw r really hope to those colors pop like that.

I contacted the seller.
He said the colors will develop more a.d the cray grows and gets comfortable in the tank.

 

[richiep]

For some reason skar your photos won't open for me sounds such a lovely tank as well, colour will develop better as he moults

 

[Redshark1]

Maybe there's a glitch with the black background guys. I have the white background and am getting pics. Switch and see if that works?

Its working now that he reloaded them. There's some other threads I've seen with pic issues. Newer threads and pics seem fine.

Are you using one of the new backgrounds?

 

[Feohw]

Are you using one of the new backgrounds?

Thank you so much.
It's a dwarf cray, so I do hope it behaves itself in there !
The bee shrimp are beautiful, I'm excited to try them out !!

 

[MissNoodle]

So many beautiful plants!! Love your new inverts, theyve made themselves right at home already

Thanks I like the tank very much and I'm glad I came back to see it. It looks like a very species-rich exotic natural environment.
