Question
how can i find out what gender my crayfish is?

Answer
Hi Kenny;
Carefully turn over the crayfish an examine the tail area. The animal has ten legs and on the tail underside 3-5 swimmerets.  If the crayfish is a female the swimmerets will all be the same size and there will be a pore ( a small oval area) right where the tail and abdomen meet.  If the first pair of swimmerets are longer then the others it is a male.  Let me know what it is.
