Direct developer: the female carries eggs under her tail. One wild 9.6 cm female carried 74 eggs (3 x 2 mm); a berried female was collected in early March.
One male and 2 females in a large tank with hides.
Large tank with caves and sand; separate female when berried.
Seasonal temperature changes and good feeding.
One 9.6 cm wild female carried 74 eggs, each about 3 x 2 mm.
Juveniles are tiny crayfish; feed meaty foods and keep separate to prevent cannibalism.
One breeding tank for the boesemani crayfish, drawn to scale from the breeding guide.

A plan from the breeding guide and an adult size of 12 cm. Tank shape is a standard 2 : 1 : 1.2 box, at least 6 adult lengths long. Check each step in the guide above.
A rack of breeding and grow-out tanks.
The breeding guide gives no tank size for the boesemani crayfish yet, so a business layout can't be drawn.
Adult males have a soft, pale yellow or white patch (decalcified swelling) on the lower edge of the claws; females lack it. Young males resemble females until it develops (at about 8 cm total length).
