Sex Ed with Blue Crabs.....

Post by guitarest » Tue Aug 16, 2011 3:18 am

OK I have never seen anything like this before. Now I have seen Blues making babies in the wild by seeing them one on top of the other, I walked by my tank one day and saw this one. This was actually kinda cool and had there was no issues with them eating. I just thought it was kinda cool seeing this and decided to share with everyone here. Hopefully no one is offended by this.

One thing I do know about this tank, this is a pretty successful tank from the Bull Minnows having babies to this and over all its just a happy tank.

Pretty awesome...just so you know so you're not surprised...the female usually dies after releasing the zoae and GCRL feeds them rotifers...let me know if you have any success in rearing them.

Dies, well that sucks she is actually friendly. Last night while I was feeding them the male decided I was not feeding them fast enough so he swam to the top of the tank and grabbed the feed bag with shrimp and oysters in it and tried to take it from me...
