The yabby (Cherax destructor and Cherax albidus) is a semi aquatic freshwater crayfish indigenous to the inland waters of central and eastern Australia and some coastal drainage areas of Victoria and New South Wales.
Cherax destructor is the most common species in eastern Australia, and represents about 90 per cent of production.
Because yabbies are an introduced species in Western Australia, the licensed yabby farming industry is restricted to the drier inland developed agricultural area of the south west, to the north of Perth and to the east of Albany.

Redclaw, Cherax quadricarinatus, is a species of freshwater crayfish native to tropical Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Unlike other species of freshwater crayfish, the adult male redclaw (Cherax quadricarinatus)has a distinct soft red patch on the outer margin of the claws, hence the name redclaw.
Broodstock selection ensures that individuals displaying desirable characteristics, such as fast growth rate are able to contribute their genes to the successive generations.

Until I see C glaber labelled though I cant be certain, but so far it looks like koonacs with the large knob inside their "finger" as with brutus are Cherax preisii, the commonly shown pic on the net of preissii is actually Cherax Glaber.
Pictures on the net identify it as cherax preissi, whilst the species I have already is by elimination cherax glaber.

If the rod swings back and forth as normal and doesn't stay in the neutral position for very long, and if the stamina bar depletes at the normal rate then you have hooked a monster.
