There has been relatively little information about ornamental crayfish, and the more you watch, the more chaotic it may be, and ornamental crayfish has always been a very niche pet!
The most common ornamental crayfish are blue, white and orange, and Ma Xiao generally appears as a delicacy, but it is also good to raise it as a pet, and Bai and Tang are also a kind of Ma Xiao.
White crayfish and orange crays are selected and bred for crayfish, both of which are procambarus clarkii.
Florida blue crayfish procambarus alleni. The encyclopedia confuses the blue and the blue devil shrimp of the sky, and the name blue devil shrimp was originally another crayfish, Cheron Tenuimanus.
There is also a more common type of crayfish named ghosts, such as three-color ghosts, orange ghosts, etc., which are also cross-bred from some species of the genus P, and now it can be said that there is no so-called pure-blood ghost.
In this category, on the market, you can see artificial sky, native sky, volcanic destroyer, Australian system, German blood, etc., volcanic destroyer will also have interstellar, violet and other distinctions, chaotic mess.
According to the current theory, the ornamental crayfish of the sky class or the destroyer class originate from two species
Destroyer Chela Destructor, or CD for short, is the Native Sky, Volcano Destroyer category.
Cherax Albidus, abbreviated as CA, is the original ancestor of the sky, and the blued type is the type of artificial sky blue devil.
The so-called Australian or something, in fact, is the so-called bloodline of the breeder, and my personal opinion is that if you believe it, you don't believe it!Volcanic destroyers of interstellar, violets and the like, in fact, can be considered to be different body colors to show the selection of individuals.
Regarding pure-blooded CA purebred CD and the like, my personal opinion is also that there is no belief or not, as far as the current environment is concerned, at least on the sky, just look at the appearance of the picture, it is not recommended to pursue the so-called bloodline lineage origin and so on.
That is, we often say dragon crayfish or marble crayfish, a few years ago, there was a period of time, dragon crayfish was once swiped by all kinds of self-** numbers, the reason is that it is a relatively good skill,Parhenogenesis, that is, only one can achieve multiplication!This skill is not actually exclusive to dragon crayfish, there are many species that can reproduce parthenogenesis, but it is relatively rare to put it in crustaceans!
The origin of the dragon crayfish, the mainstream theory is that the North American dragon crayfish procambarus fallax mutation, after all, the female individual of the North American dragon crayfish procambarus fallax and the dragon crayfish procambarus virginalis are almost indistinguishable from the dragon crayfish in terms of appearance.
The body color performance and body shape of the dragon pattern are actually not outstanding, and the only thing that attracts players is its ability to reproduce parthenogenesis, which is a better choice for people who want to experience breeding and are more hand-born.
Among the dwarf crayfish, Cambarellus Texanus should be the most common one, in addition to the Sophia Cambarellus Shufeldtii and the dwarf orange Cambarellus patzcuarensis are also more common dwarf crayfish.
In general, the adult size of this type of crayfish is very small, which is a compromise option for those who want to polyculture crayfish in a fish tank, giving preference to Tsanu, Sophia will be slightly more aggressive. The two are similar in appearance, but there is not much difference, and some of the individual body colors also coincide, according to experienced bigwigs.
Sophia's double chela is a little more slender.
Tsani's double chela are shorter and thicker.
That's right, it's those Australian dragons in the aquatic market!But the so-called austrasaurus is not actually a species, it mainly includes.
New Zealand rock lobster Jasus Edwardsii
Australian freshwater lobster, also known as the red crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus
The crayfish that are used as pets are basically Australian freshwater lobsters, and some players will call it a small green dragon, but in fact, the name of the green dragon is also relatively confusing in the aquatic market, such as China's local splendid lobster panulirus ornatus, the trade name is also called the green dragon, and there is also a corrugated lobster panulirus homarus (this wave dragon is not a wave dragon), and the trade name is also called the green dragon
In the part of watching crayfish, we only need to recognize the red crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus, and the pet little green dragon is it
The above, that is, the more common ornamental crayfish, is also imported into various e-commerce platforms for ornamental crayfish, and appears in the forefront of the species.
Next, there are some ornamental crayfish species that need to be entered into specific keywords to come out or need to find other channels to get them!
There are more appearancesPSP, red rhombus back U-word Procambarus Spiculifer,The biggest feature is the U-shaped pattern located on the head and chest, which is also the unified symbol of this kind of crayfish, compared with the same genus of Ma Xiao and Buddha blue, etc., the requirements for water quality are much higher, and the ** of this kind of crayfish is also a lot higher.
Others include procambarus dupratzi and procambarus ouachitae, which are expensive and not always available!
Some crayfish from Indonesia, many of this part of the market are caught in the wild, and the mortality rate in the process of fixing the water is relatively high, so some merchants sell it directly, resulting in many players ending up in a violent death after getting it, so it is necessary to buy as much as possible to buy shelling and water, that is, individuals who have molted their shells at least once in an artificial environment. (Wild shrimp body surface generally has flaws, sometimes *** and so on may not be seen, after getting it can basically be distinguished, whether it can be sold depends on how to talk to the shrimp merchant at that time).
Indonesian shrimp also has a common characteristic, slow growth and short lifespan, the best viewing period is often only a few months, so the experience is relatively poor, but their various performances make many players want to stop, so this kind of shrimp will make many people entangled. For example, the giant hand Cherax Holthuisi, with its golden body and thick chela, is unique.
Some other Indonesian crayfish.
Wolf shrimp cherax peknyi, there will be rainbow wolves and the like, but the difference in body color texture color performance is essentially one.
Blue moon Cherax Pulcher, other types of corals like pink corals are all one.
The same goes for Cherax Boesemani, red peppers, green peppers, and the like.
Yellow capsule Cherax Snowden
Papuan dragon Cherax Monticola
Wait!The American body color performance is more gorgeous, but there is a more unified feature that it is not very resistant to high temperatures, the water temperature is 25 degrees and 26 degrees, even if it is the top, to nearly 30 degrees, although it will not die immediately, but the state is not easy to say, and the artificial breeding of these shrimps is relatively difficult!
Some American shrimp.
Sateric Cambarus ludovicianus
Manning battle shrimp cambarus manningi, Manning has actually been artificial for several generations in China, and the tolerance to high water temperature may be a little higher.
Pygmaeus dwarf demon procambarus pygmaeus
The blue diamond Cambarus rusticiformis is said to have a higher oxygen content in the water
Kusha cambarus coosae, which seems to be relatively rare in China, is similar to Manning, but it is said that it is more difficult to raise than Manning.
Wait!For example, some of the feeding requirements are relatively high, as mentioned aboveMeron Cherax Tenuimanus,The requirements for water quality, especially the temperature, are particularly high, and there is a high probability of direct death if it exceeds 25 degreesBlack Devil Prawn Cherax Glaber, which has the same requirements for water temperature, are typical cold-water shrimp.
Black crayfish, the cricket in the northeast of China, is a kind of crayfish, Northeast crayfish cambaroides dauricus,In addition to this, there are the Korean crayfish cambaroides similis and the Japanese crayfish cambaroides japonicus. Mainly the Northeast and North Korea, although the Northeast and North Korea are the two native species in our country, but the difficulty of artificial breeding is relatively high, it is not recommended to raise, and it is not recommended to run to the wild to catch!
Retis orconectes luteus
Euastacus armatus, the second largest in size
Scorpion shrimp aegla platensis, not crayfish, is a member of the armor shrimp family from South America, but I like !!
That's pretty much it here
