Crawfish eggs?

[Nataliaa729]

Hey guys!
Here goes, I've had a crawfish since June 2011. I woke up this morning and there are about 200 eggs! I'm not quite sure how this happened since I've had it for almost a year and a half by itself. They are brownish in color - I'm just not sure what to do with them. Are they fertilized? Please help! Thank you :)

Are the eggs in the tank or under the tail of the crawfish?

[Nataliaa729]

The eggs are in the tank, they showed up this morning out of nowhere!

[William]

Than the eggs likely belong to something else. What do you have in the tank.

[Nataliaa729]

That's the thing, there's nothing else in the tank!

This is the best I can get unless I take her out of the fishbowl, she seems really cranky! I can actually see eggs under her tail, it looks like there is a clump of them. What is going on?!

[William]

Could she have been carrying the eggs for a while without you seeing it??

[Nataliaa729]

OMG, I guess? - I just changed the water 2 days ago. I didnt notice anything until this morning when they were all over. So those are really eggs? What do I do? :help:

[William]

It is really really hard to say from the pics. Someone with more crayfish experince than me might be able to be of more help.

[Nataliaa729]

ok - thank you for your help William!:fish:

yup those are cray eggs they are probably going to hatch soon. the ones that are not on the mother probably wouldn't hatch unless you put a really strong air pump so there aerated.
