Should I add these crawfish crayfish crawdads? - 03/24/08 03:21 PM
I'll research these crayfish myself, but I thought I would share the photos and see if anyone has some input.
Mr H's small pond is upstream from my pond, about 600 feet away. The land between stays marshy when we aren't in a drought. He has crawdads in his pond and since he's not stocking a large predator it may be a while before the medium WM and small RES control them.
I understand it may not matter in the long run, but I'm thinking about trapping some from his pond, if he permits it, and stocking them in mine. My RES are less than 1.5 inches now so the crawdads would have some time to get established.
