Crabs prefer sandy or clay soils where there is a sludge, which is necessary for the construction of dwellings norovykh. The intensity of water exchange is also important for crayfish.
In self-breeding of crayfish should pay special attention to the water temperature and its chemical composition. In winter, the pond should not freeze, due to the low temperature water cancers simply go into hibernation until spring, it is not conducive to their development and growth process.
