AntonyCee Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Hi guys, my two-year-old crayfish molted last night but something went wrong. As you can see from the photos, it looks like part of the old shell is still there and has created a kind of "bubble". Has anything similar ever happened to you? Any suggestions? The water levels are in the normal range and I had already added some calcium (as usual during the molt). Any help is welcome!

nabokovfan87 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Oh man. I'm not sure what to do when that happens. I'm sorry. Are all of the water parameters and everything ok? The bubble could be fluid, meaning an injury that happened while it was in a soft state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I would suggest to ask on reddit r/crayfish or to try to find a specific crayfish community. Maybe they can help better I havent seen lots of crayfish keepers around here. Maybe @Ninjoma Might have an idea? Otherwise, as I said, try to find a crayfish community for better help before it is too late Hope your friend gets better soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyCee Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 @nabokovfan87 yes all the water parameters are fine. I checked them twice. @Lennie thank you. I will try on Reddit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjoma Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I've never seen anything like that before. I hope they are okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
