ewest, thank you for posting the information on the Red Swamp and white river craws. I believe both species are common to my area of E. Texas where I border Louisiana. I followed these crawfish from 1/4" size originally stocked in my pond to the larger Red, orange colored ones that have matured in the pond. I have seen schools of small 1" crawfish scoot as I walked into view. I watched them denude one shoreline of all plants, and have found some with only one claw, I think the other clay was lost in battle with fish or other crawfish. it's been interesting watching what all goes on with them in the pond. And I am happy they make shallow vertical burrows. The only downside I have seen is where the coons will dig them up, not sure how successful the coons are in getting a meal.
