Hi,

My blue cray'lobster has had eggs for @ three weeks, I have moved her to a separate nursery tank, she is fine and dandy shaking her eggs regularly and eating various bits n pieces, I am keeping a close eye on her, how long should i leave her with the young ones once they hatch out?
Also what would you reccommend the best food?

Thanks for your help.

Mike

I'm not Cray certified... but As they hatch I'd watch for predation and go from there. My cray females have never eaten their young but I have had sibling predation in smaller tanks with too many babies.

Hope that is some help.

it usually takes 4 weeks, depending on the temp.
