on june 6th of this year, my little marbled crayfish arrived in the mail. if you know anything about marbleds, you would know that they are all female and they clone themselves! i thought she was going to be much bigger, but she was very small and hard to find once in the tank 
i wanted to share with you my exciting journey with this crayfish and her children... err.. daughters, and then eventually their granddaughters etc etc
some of her "baby" pics from when i first got her. you might need to do some searching!!
then she molted and grew some
and molted again...
and a few molts later. she turned a little blue which is normal. there were the last pics of her before the babies
(that is the tank reflection on the left!)
and then *drumroll please* ...... she laid eggs (this is the awesome cloning part!)
they are the gray balls under her tail
and theses are the more recent pics of her, which her color became sharper looking and browner, with the hatched crayfish still under her tail, they hatched october 4th.
annnnnddddd.... the first baby cray started roaming on sunday!!!! shes the little white-ish thing behind her eye
