M y A quarium C lub. One Jae. It's probably a defensive posture so they are not exposed. I did looking around and here is what I found: When your cray molts, leave the old shell in for one week, and then remove whatever if anything is left.

Ghost shrimp molting. Ghost shrimp molting or dead? Vulnerable : The freshly moulted crayfish will invariably be larger as part of the growing process, but is vulnerable on several fronts. Firstly, the shell is very soft and vulnerable to predators, including other crayfish and fish. The crayfish needs to eat the old shell to replace the lost calcium and stengthen the weakened carapace. Pets: Crayfish are sometimes kept as pets in freshwater aquariums.
They prefer foods like shrimp pellets or various vegetables but will eat most leftover fish food. They also have a big appetite for plants and will eat most aquarium plants.
They can be aggressive and may attempt to eat fish. However, crayfish are actually fairly shy and may often attempt to hide under leaves or rocks. If you are going to keep a crayfish as a pet, remember to give it some hiding space.
If it is then its probably molting LOL If he does molt make sure to leave the shell so he can eat it up and get whatever important nutrients are in the old shell to make his new shell.
He will be very vulnerable so make sure he has somewhere to hide. So go try that first, put him in a container with water up to his eyes, so if he wants to breath air he can. Did you test your Tap Water to make sure there's no levels of nitrite in there? And put some substrate in there so he has something to rub against.
And is ur crayfish doing exactly what the video of crayfish molting is doing??? Oh I watched that video days ago and My guy does lay on his side like that and wave his legs, then he gets up and scratches at his shell.. I don't know how long his cray was moulting before he started the camera but my guy has been acting like this since I got home 2 hours ago and who knows how long before that. If he is just moulting and scaring the out of me..
I don't want to keep stressing him out so really don't want to move him again if I can just leave him there. You can leave him in the casserole dish if 1. He has the heat then just move him back in tommorrow if not just put him back, maybe hes new to molting and its just taking him longer. Make sure to say sorry when u put him back cause ur stressing him again. Don't wait till hes less stressed only to make him stress again.
Or he needs to molt but his shell is still too hard. I said sorry.. He wasn't trying to get air, he was just curled up in the corner, hugging the bottom, looking scared. If he dies at least he dies in his home instead of in a cooking dish.
He didn't even care when I picked him up, he just hung there. I wanted to hold him for a few minutes at top of water to let air sort out but he flipped his tail and took off. Strange though.. I thought if he was dying he'd stay hidden in his burrow and not wander around in the open.
He's back behind the car again and just sitting there. Best I can do now is pray and wait to see come morning. Its like us in a straight jacket, we want it off but we can't get it off. Just give it some time, as long as ur water parameters is fine then he should be fine.
And for now don't add or take out anything. He's gone. Wish I knew the exact reason cuz I don't want this to happen again. I didn't know you long but I liked you while I knew you.
Your brand new, big tank sits empty and you never even got to move in. Aw i'm sorry for ur lose. If you have other inverts including crawfish, you might wish to put a small amount of iodine in the water to help them to molt.
I have had it happen twice. Thanks Torval.. Just curious for future reference though.. Similar Aquarium Threads. Replies 7 Views Jun 5, WIldIsa.
