I am really enjoying my Marmorkreb crayfish. It is sometimes called a freshwater lobster, but that's not really accurate. What is cool about them is they have a personality. The one I have will rush to the front glass when she see me looking. I know it is a female because all Marmorkrebs are. They reproduce without a male. She waves her claws around and tries to be intimidating. If I back up an inch or two, she will advance a bit. Yesterday, when she did that bit, she clacked her claws together. All crayfish are a little aggressive, but mine is one of the more docile. Still, there is a saying:
Crayfish eat everything, and everything eats crayfish. I think she knows it.
Anyway, she loves yellow squash and broccoli. I gave her a small piece of breast of chicken, and she guarded it like it was life. I want her to have lots of pretty colors, though, so it will be a lot of yellow and green blanched vegetables.
