    Re: Link to red claw info

    so a little searching shows that the walkamin is some kind of cross between red claw and another cray for faster/bigger growth..
    i've only found one source for redclaw so far, stick fins in fl i think.. gonna keep looking, gotta build something to put them in before ordering anything though..

    I got my walkamins from stick fins. They are not a hybrid, just big fast growing red claws from selective breeding.

    Urbanfarmer..... ....we need a permit for these too. Stick fins won't sell to you if you don't.
    They aren't too far from us...on the river, in Saint Johns county.

    If we split the permit, one of us can get the livestock and we can divvy it up. It's $100 a year, but you have to set up a viable commercial operation in an area not listed under the floodplain. I may have such a place, but I'm still checking.

    I thought this happened a while ago. I used a program that archives entire websites, and after about 6 hours I think I got most their stuff onto my hard drive, including what seemed like all the PDF type articles/research.

    BF,

    Did you really mean after 60 months they can be harvested? Or 6 months?

    Re: Link to red claw info

    Under optimal pond conditions redclaw can grow from hatching to the smallest marketable size (~30 g)
    within four months. Queensland redclaw usually mature at around six months of age, or 45-50 g, but it
    may be possible to select for later maturing animals when selecting for faster growers.

    From a PDF on raising them.....

    Zetts fish farm in Pennsulvania may have a better crayfish, and you don't need the permit.
    I am not overyly impressed by the redclaw...but that's just my 2 cents.
    At first I left this blank...but now I believe: "It's better to keep your mouth closed, and have the world think your a fool, than open it and confirm it."
