Title: Blue lobster
Post by: neilsarah on May 14, 2015, 08:02:01 PM

So I am wondering. Can you keep a blue lobster with cichlids. I have a 195 all male hap/peacock tank. I think this would be a cool edition to the cleaning crew (2 bristle nose and 2 syno cats). Will they all get along?

No. the haps would probably shred it but if it is big enough it could snag one instead.  When the crayfish molts the fish will probably kill it even if it is big

I've done it with New Worlds,  just make sure it has a place to hide when it molts & no escape route out of the tank.
