This is a pic of him about a year ago. He is now larger and redder (oranger?) I will try an post a more recent photo soon. I am wearing an orage shirt today so he will be attacking the glass, hopefully I get some cool shots.
CRAYFISH AND PARASITES
- Thread starter SemperFish
- Start date
Your fish has been officially renamed, Pierre "The Dickens" Midas. Or Pierre "The Dickens" Red Devil. Sorry, I don't the difference between the two.
I fed one of those cray worms to my angelfish yesterday. My friend brought up more points about why it was probably okay than I had against. It's an external parasite, so one eaten it should dissolve. I guess we'll find out pretty soon what happens. She really chewed it up well, though. I suspect a huge cichlid like yours that might shake them off the cray into the water and might not chew each worm is a whole different story.
SemperFish, “what the dickens” means “what the devil”. Also, what in the H*#L,
a major problem, ridiculousness, etc... Have heard actors use it and sometimes the older crowd will say it. I have never said it but when you told me that your fish won't eat dead food, Dickens instantly came to mind. So what type of fish do you have? Who knows, Charles Dickens may have made the phrase popular.

Nah thats in Victoria, a really cold state, thats what makes it even more incredible, see the colours of those midas, vitamin D really brings out the red in them, terrible though, letting introduced species into native water ways, come spring time i plan on bow fishing for Euro carp which is the worst noxious species around here.
As for the salt bath it seemed to have worked but then again yabbies dont really sit still long enough to be observed properly but there were no noticeable ones which is a good sign ill report back in a week or so and let you know.

Unfortunately I wont be able to go get these crays until after the 4th of July holiday. I have been sick so stuck at home. As soon as I get them I will post pics of them and where I catch them.
Is it a high level of vitamin D in the water that brings out their coloration or something in their diet like elsewhere?
And yes, Im a Marine. Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps Reserve.
