Allen: Thanks. I sent them email.
Lance: Good idea. I kick myself now for throwing out our 27' above ground pool.

I built mine out of 2X12 Treated lumber stacked 2 high and lined them with liner from my local pond store. Works great 3 in operation in various sizes.

If you are looking for fish tanks in Texas you should try Red Ewald. http://www.redewald.com/ They are located in Texas, have a long track history of quality fiberglass tank building, and can build to suit your needs (depending on the order size of course).

Christine: Thanks for the heads up. I saw one state list but Texas wasn't on it. I'll dig deeper.
John: That's good to know. thank you.
Just fyi. I would like to diversify any tank I have so would optimally like to find a cray, a panfish and a mussel that will nicely play together. Haven't quite found the right combination yet.

Dave, Be carefull if you plan to raise the red claw in Houston because your state doesn't allow them. They may allow you to keep them as pets but you can't produce them to sell.

Dave Durkin, about your question of 2' deep tanks suitable for redclaws? Yes. I use 18" deep wading pools, same as stick-fins in Florida. Look up stick-fin website, there are pictures of dozens of them, some with 2' tall skirting to prevent walkabout, but all definitely less than 18" deep water. Mine fluctuate between 12-16"

hi Che Ma, how are your red claw doing?

Dave, Don't you think that if the package calls them Red Lobsters that they are the same as the Red Claw Crayfish since the RCC is used as a substitute lobster?
Where did you order them from and where were they shipped to?

I was looking for red claw, but the closest thing I could find was a red crayfish. I ordered 10. When they arrived, the package calls them Red Lobster.. I would guess they will help with keeping my tank clean, but will not grow big enough to eat.
Or
Did I do it all wrong?
