The discovery and cultivation of blue morph Orconectes immunis by Crayfishbob is what led to the creation of Bluecrayfish.com. Since then, the site has successfully flourished into an enormous archive of information about crayfish to help and educate anyone interested. Thanks to CrayfishBob and many people along the way, the Bluecrayfish.com forum is now the largest most active online crayfish community, and still growing!
