Crayfish with Eggs???

[LondonDragon]

Hi guys just need some clearing up on the latest development.
My crayfish is hiding a lot and I have noticed she is carrying eggs.
I guess since I don't have a male on the tank nothing will come out of this eggs correct??

Many thanks

unsure about the egg part, but that pic looks just like mine, only smaller

P. alleni (your cray) are internally fertilized and the female stores sperm packets until she developes eggs to fertilize them with. Females can store enough sperm for several batches of eggs. Your female mated before you bought her since they won't lay unfertilized eggs.

Everytime I have caught a crawdad w/ eggs they were dark brown. But I dont know why it would take the energy to develope eggs unless she somehow got fertilized. Hope this helps!

if the eggs turn a dark brown or black, theyre fertile

red or orange is not

exactly as oddball says, they can store sperm packets for a long time, even through molts
