Thanks for the descriptions on how to differentiate CPO from Orange Clarkii! So now confirm that those small lobsters next to CRS/Guppy/Betta tanks are CPOs.. Heard Wednesday got another batch of 30 arriving..

So updates on my CPOs.


The pair of CPO at my home had moulted. Below are some pics of them feasting on Green pea.

Wow bro highlander, your setup really looks great now with the moss growing well... Btw how often do you feed it green pea? i'm thinking of feeding that to mine.. they don't seem to like pellets a lot :(

I also feeding pellet as well. I'm feeding 2 brands of pellet, Sera and Hikari. I didn't plan the diet pattern for my CPO. Maybe around twice a week, I will cut the green pea into half and throw to them. ;)

Thank you. Since 8th Oct till now? Seems to me that flame moss doesn't need cool temp as my tank temp is around 29 degree.

ok thanks for info bro... will try that out... so just need to defrost the pea right? no need to boil it or anything rite.. will try that out!

btw bro... u not worried that 29c might be a bit high for a cpo tank?

Don't need to boil. I washed it with tap water (defrost process) and then cut it (For normal size crayfish, can just throw in the whole green pea) before throwing into the tank.

Well, most of the bros here did share that CPO should live in 24~26 degree. Some website put 18~28 degree. But I also know of one breeder in Singapore keeping at 29~30 degree.

Well, I am sort of testing them on this range and keep my finger cross. hehe :D
