Hi! I’m a 25 year old southern dad… to shrimp, tetras (rip this bunch of spazzes, they got old and passed a year ago) and starting this Saturday a baby crawdad. I usually keep the biggest tank I can in my apartment without having to worry about obscene pet fees, so rn that’s a 5 gallon that I’ll upgrade to a 10 gallon once I have enough saved up to pay down the pet rent on that for a year or 2 in advance (so pretty quick, cuz I got a better job).

Anyways, more on me… I’m nearly done with my degree (creative writing), I do a LOT of handicrafts and sewing (mostly cosplay), and I’m like… half done with my debut novel rn. I work at… basically it’s a toy store but it has accessories too, I’m not allowed per company policy to name drop and I’m a manager there so… yeah.

I have been referred to as the “cozy southern grandpa friend” by basically everyone I have met and I find it hilarious because it kinda fits too well lol.

Tank is currently in the middle of a weird spot of “prep, adjust, prep, adjust” now that I’ve got the cycle stable since I’m making sure it’s 100% ready for my new buddy on Friday, but I’ll post pics once he’s settled and everything is as stable as possible. I’m getting a baby-baby, the one in question not even being 2 1/3 inches rn WITH TAIL, and I’m making sure one of my current ghosties has a really really good hiding spot bc she’s gravid rn and if I don’t pick up my new dude I’ll have to wait 5 months to get a new one and they’ll be having more eggs again by then…

Welcome to Fishlore.

That all sounds very interesting. What species of crawfish is it?

I went to check on him at the store today (he’s been out on the floor a while) and they say he’s an Amari (sp?) but he hasn’t grown much so I suspect he’s a dwarf of some sort cuz he’s still about the size of my thumb

Granted I haven’t had one of these in a while and my last one was a yard crawdad
