🌴 Toon and Leigh Porpeang Crayfish Farm Thailand 🇹🇭
We've been using this basic tank set up on a smaller scale for over a year & it works great. Now is the time to scale up production.
As well as being cheap, it's super simple to install & would complement an existing crayfish setup.
The video also contains information about crayfish care, including water, temperature, feeding, oxygen & much more.
Crayfish (we keep the red claw Yabbies) are relatively easy to grow inexpensively at home in a tank setup or outside in a pond system. Yabbies are beautiful-looking blue crayfish. The males can grow to around 700 grams when fully mature.
Because crayfish (otherwise known as crawfish), taste so good, they are loved worldwide...There's nothing better than a fresh Crawfish BBQ or the famous Crawfish Boil!

Usually it's large males who like to look for new territories. During droughts they trap water in their carapace like a scuba tank in reverse and can cover literal miles in one night looking for another waterhole.

When I was a young kid in the 60s. I crossed two different kinds and created my own. The teacher teaching science class said you needed a male and female. I told him I had one that was self-fertile. He told me I was stupid and he said he was the science teacher and I didn't 😂😂knew what I was talking about and I was just trying to cause problems in the class. So when it came time for us to do a little class project I brought one of these crayfish into the school in a jar just one single crayfish a baby. And without a male when it got larger it had babies. He took the crayfish and did his own studies on it. When he couldn't figure it out he sent one of the crayfish off to Germany where they studied it. The scientists took all the credit which cut the teacher out. The teacher had cut me out when he took the crayfish from me. The scientist called it a marbled crayfish and it was coming out of Florida in Pinellas Park out of the ditches. The scientists said that he believed that it was a cross from someone's aquarium and that the aquarium was dumped out in the ditch and that's where these marbled crayfish came from. That teacher was a real jerk he slapped me around the school many times so I was glad to make a fool out of him.😂

I got mine in a 30 gallon storage container Just one my cousin didn't need Only got 3 inches of water and she just laid her first clutch of eggs I feed them a little piece of ham and let it sit in there for 3 days just a centimeter by centimeter piece and what's left I'll give to my dog and rip off another piece of ham Every Monday i drain the water down to about a inch and clean it out a little before giving her some fresh water And the air hose is running straight up to wall which again is a 30 gallon tank so the wall is about 2 feet tall so they ain't getting up that easily

Watched one of my baby crawdads take down a small live bloodworm. Cool! I setup a bunch of tanks like this with 5 gallon buckets with a small hole about 4-5 inches from the bottom. The buckets are in a tray. I add fresh water every few days and it drains back into the SUMP tank for the Aquaponics system. So, inbreeding isn’t an issue? Thanks!

@robsonwilianwinchester9726 2 жыл бұрын

Inbreeding can be a issue just change some pairs once and awhile and buy fews pairs of crawfish from outside especially from someone you never brought to guarantee they aren't cousins with your original pairs of crawfish reprodutors !!!!!! I'm expert or something but any tips maybe worth it!!! I'm brazilian so also the native crawfish and climate and taste of customers are different. So keep in mind it too!!!( That also crawfish can be from different places and species the biggest one is from new Zealand!! Some are even blue 🔵)

@TheCaptainbeefylog Жыл бұрын

@@robsonwilianwinchester9726 the largest freshwater crayfish is the Tasmanian Giant Freshwater crayfish (Astacopsis gouldi). The ones in the video are Redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) from Queensland, Australia and while not the largest they are probably the most aggressive, adaptable, fastest growing and breeding of most species. They are now banned as pests in many countries for these reasons, after having outbreaks of wild populations taking over entire rivers and lakes.

Great video.We have native crawfish in Washington State in the US. I'd be interested in creating a small set up for personal consumption only. Could you tell me what size tanks you use to grow out the adult crayfish and the annual yield you get from each of these tanks? I just want to get a sense for how much space is needed to see if it's practical for me to do this on my property.

For the BIG riverprawns, cut open the back of the shell and slit down 20% of the way then BRINE them in the fridge.. in 2 hours they will PUFF UP and the strong smell you dont like will be gone. Remove Quick rinse and pan fry bake or slow grill.

I have 2 blue crayfish. Not sure how old they are but ones male and ones female. They have been mating none stop. It's been 5-7 days and I see no eggs? Is that normal? And when do I remove the female when she's carrying the eggs? Also I have a weired question to. My blue crayfish will turn like a redish hue under there blue skin then it disappears. It's almost looking like there blushing. Or are mad? Is this normal?

Hi, i love your setup ! i am searching for the right algae to feed my crayfish, what's the name of your clumpy but fluffy one:) ?

@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand 9 ай бұрын

Apologies for sounding thick as mince mate, but we haven't got a clue of its name. We have two different types that form naturally. Both do well in half light conditions. One gets eaten until it is spent (the fluffy one lol.) The other one is very clumpy/ lumpy. The juvenile crayfish eat it but it's too prolific for them to clear it all. This one, to date has only grown in one tank. We tend to fill a tank a couple of weeks before introducing the baby crayfish. Because we don't scrub the tanks clean the algae grows back quite quickly each time. Sorry can't be more specific for you mate.
