Blue lobster, Cherax quadricarinatus

Blue lobster, Cherax quadricarinatus or Red Claw Crayfish because the male has red patches on his claws, absent in the female.

My female Blue lobster has spawned – umm do lobsters spawn, well she is carrying eggs. Did I not mention I purchased a pair of Blue lobsters, Cherax quadricarinatus a few months ago! I thought it would be something different and unusual to try and breed in the fish house.

This is the only freshwater crayfish that you can legally keep if you live in the UK.
