Yes I may have a small problem, I never get tired of turning over a rock and seeing something cool underneath it. Especially when it's one of my clawed friends.

You would have enjoyed our North Carolina NANFA outing last Sunday. I learned about how you have to remove crayfish from a seine or they'll chop up the fish. There were so many of them.

My Mom's friend had a crayfish one time in a tank in her basement. It escaped and she found it on the first floor near the door to the outside. They're crazy good escape artists.

Yes unfortunately they are. I've found a few live escapees so has my wife(early in the morning crawling across the bedroom floor lol) and too many dead ones. I was going through my cowboy boots one day and found a dead crayfish under one that I thought had been eaten by another crayfish. I then found another crayfish that had gone missing under another boot. I wonder if they escaped around the same time.

Mine get out all the time. I have a polycarb top that is notched around filter and airline as close as possible without water flowing on the lid. They still climb the inlet tube and pry their way out. Sometimes they swim and bump it for 10 min at a time waking me up in the middle of the night. I turn on the light and scold them. There is a five gal bucket positioned next to tank and 9 times out of 10 they land right in it.

I just found one I assumed had been eaten. It was behind my bedroom door very dry and quite dead.

I think you may have an idea there Gerald. I've got all of my tanks crayfish proofed except for my 75 gallon. I some packaging tape would work well to seal a couple of areas.
