Fun with crayfish!

Behold at last more photos to satiate the masses!

here are some of my crayfish tanks in the animal house aquarium! and my precious bucket!


here is a native white clawed crayfish! gotta have a license to even touch these little guys, so they have lovely accommodation complete with festive air bubblers, detritus to nibble, and black tubes of darkness for...lurking. They also have special 'crab cuisine' crayfish food imported from Japan.

and here is my handy chart on my computer at work so people know where I am. sometimes it is even accurate! Since I have THREE labs, and I do alot of fieldwork I try to keep up with it.


There's other news too! I bought a used TV (cicra 1988) and VCR from the homeless charity furniture store to watch my delightful X-files. After some initial problems (AH! Why doesn't the TV recognize the VCR!?!?! oh, the cable wasn't plugged in all the way........) it works great for such an old feller.

Also, I'm sleeping in the living room again - long story short (and I DO mean long story), the bedroom just got painted and it smells painty and I don't want to breathe that. Luckily both the sofa and the futon thingy are very comfortable.

AND I took the new PhD kid out crayfish catching. He caught plenty of crayfish and probably had fun even tho the water was only about 9 degrees celcius and our hands went numb. He named one in the lab Craig. Cray-g. get it?
