Ok, I'm a 20+ year marine aquarium guy and water test kits have been drilled into my head since day 1. So I'm confused as heck. You check Ca levels using a TDS meter and not a calcium test kit? I'm not seeing how one relates to the other.
Hi putawaywet, its not measuring just calcium. Its measuring the general hardiness of the water, these animals need hard water. General water hardiness in freshwater is mostly calcium salts and some magnesium salts. So your just adding calcium as needed to your freshwater that already has some calcium in it. I'm going to make another video soon there's a lot of questions that have be answered. This will not work if you put salt in your water or you put other certain liquids that can drastically raise the total dissolved solids. A TDS meter is somewhat primitive, there are really nice EC meters out there that can obviously do more then just a TDS meter. For right now I'm just trying to keep it cheap and simple for my customers, but I will do another video soon. Did you know we keep these animals in fresh water? I figured maybe you thought they were in salt water, since they can be in brackish water.
OK, got it thanks. I'll be retiring to Idaho from Southern Ca in 2020 and am planning an aquaponics greenhouse setup for a side business, so yes, been researching different options such as Red Claws to go with the Talapia. I really like your simplistic approach and the success rates your are seeing. I wqill likely be contacting you in a few years for my start up animals.
could you explain your natural food source? what it it? and how it works?
Do you use both parts of the b-ionic or just the second part?
sorry how many kilos of crayfish you harvest? I am interested in opening a farm myself but I wanna know how profitable it will be? Any ideas?
I don't actually farm them so I couldn't tell you. I have a hatchery, I mostly just breed these animals.

Your welcome. Of course i'd be happy to help you out.
Can you explain how do you breed crayfish?
I have 2 red claw but i didnt know how to breed them. Please help me.
@@christianzyrenavis3836 you need 4 males and 6 females to raise your success rate
As long as you have an adult male and female in a tank with decent water they should breed on their own just fine.
