Raising crawfish in a dedicated pond - 06/03/18 10:16 PM
We have a little square pond we built that we pump water into so the cows have water. I was thinking about putting crawfish in there so that they can reproduce and can be harvested and introduced into our big tank as additional forage.
Has anyone ever tried this?
What forage would the crawfish require?
We once had crawfish in our large tank. How they got there no one knows.
We went from nine to seeing shells on the dam.
I think birds brought them in.
There was a bad drought and we lost them and the Shad population.
We did not lose the other fish however.
My guess is that when the water receded the bass and catfish ate up the remaining population.
