Interesting, thanks! I have been doing a lot of research, but cannot find a definitive list of species of crawfish that are not prone to burrowing. I will likely order a starter bunch of crawfish of the correct species, when I find out what it is, and stock the bait pond where they can safely reproduce, as well as putting some in the main BOW.
Does anyone know what species are good ones that won't undercut banks and particularly the dam area? I'd rather order some species-verified examples from a breeder rather than rely on my amateurish attempts to identify what I catch in a trap in a stream or lake nearby. I am sure a few undesirable "primary" or "secondary burrowers" would escape my identification and make it into the main BOW where they would wreak havoc.
Any ideas on what species are the best for this? I gather non-burrowing species and at most tertiary burrowers are the acceptable ones for long-term durability of the pond's banks.
