I don't have any yet...I want to mass produce...I can't choose between the Prawns or "RedClaws" which are an huge australian crayuish referred to often as freshwater lobster.

Cherax quadricarinatus. Her's a picture of one in a tank...and one on my plate... I ate about 20 of these things on this cruise... they are awesome!

Im 97.4% sure that that's some species of cherax

I'm not totally sure which ones they were either...But I'm sure they are all very tasty!

I think they all turn pink or red when boiled...so color isn't a way to ID them either.

I have 4 of these guys, they are great. They just babies, I got them for $5 each. They are very aggressive. But Im looking forward to watching them grow. They are aggressive towards each other so you have to have a big tank if you want more then one.

That did it,now I've gotta have one.
