Welcome to our new Redclaw nursery.

We removed our Redclaw female from the small aquarium in which she'd been kept while her eggs hatched out.  She went into a fish tank with our half-grown Jade Perch.....the least risky option (for her and for fish).

We then transferred the juvenile Redclaw into their new home.

The weighted plastic tray will be used as a feeding point and it also anchors the four air lines that ensure adequate aeration.  The plastic onion sacks provide a secure environment for the tiny crustaceans to undergo the many moults that will be necessary between now and when they reach harvest size.
