After watching the video, I discussed siting with my "Location Manager".😊. It's now about 10th on the "to do " list! It takes me back to my childhoid when i used to go hunting native British Crayfish in local streams. Sadly, theyre a dying breed due to the introduction of American Signal Crayfish.

@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand 10 ай бұрын

Toon, myself & family did our best at trying to reduce the Signal crayfish numbers in the river Lea. Crazy numbers. Actually, Toon saw a recent Facebook reel of hundreds of Signals escaping in Thailand after flooding. The hunt was on not just for the crayfsh but the breeder, as no one had a license to breed them nearby!

@chriscrookson8524 10 ай бұрын

@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand I'll definitely be siting tanks way above high water levels! Dont want to create any eco disasters like in the the UK streams and rivers. The buggers eat everything and eventually each other when the food runs out. And if I do utilize our small pond, I'll be building a wall around it as you've done. Cheers Leigh.

Do you have a backup battery for the air pump should you have a power outage or is it not a big problem

@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand 10 ай бұрын

Hi Gary, no backup battery mate. It's just a DC setup that only runs during daylight hours. Most of our tanks don't have pumps running, although we are hoping to get more as some tanks are prone to a thin biofilm at times.

@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand 9 ай бұрын

We mainly use chopped up fresh glass shrimp that we catch from our outside ponds. We supplement their feed with a few BetaGrow floating pellets. As long as the water level in your tank isnt too deep the crayfsh can grab them easy enough. The pellets sink after a few hours so they all get fed eventually.

In my country ( the Netherlands ) these crayfish have infested already a big part of the the waterways here . As soon as a have some stuff in order a wil try to catch some of them an breed them and eat them . Because of some weird people that think that only insects and Lab meat is the way to go in time the normal way of getting good protien is gone so a good alternative is necessary . Chickens is ( for now ) possible but they need good feed and how long will that last . So grayfish seems to me a good way to go and like several other things i will already buy some air pumps and hopefully a small solarsystem .

@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand They are a non native spieces and have been found in many waters . Goverment want them to been catch away by professional vischerman but in my opinion that wont work good enough . The word ''professional'' means that if they catch every grayfisch away they wont make a buck anymore . I think that the common people should get a chance , there are many video's that show how to and every extra catch can be released . Indeed i saw some video's of UK infested rivers and streams , some streams dont have any life in it anymore because the grayfisch eat them all . No natural predator and this is what you get . Thist is also to be very carefull if you have them and breed them in places with no natural predators for the grayfisch .
