 | Blue Lobster with Cories??? |
Cheshire Cat  Fingerling Posts: 47 Kudos: 57 Votes: 4 Registered: 01-May-2004   | I was thinking about getting a freshwater blue lobster to house in a tank with my cories (plus one clown loach). I was wondering if the lobster would bother any of my bottom feeders. Any advice or comments would be appriciated. Thanks! |

Those lobsters can get fairly large and are certainly agressive. They're also nocternal hunters, so just when the cories would start slowing down, the lobster would start to hunt. They're quite nice looking, but should really be kept alone. I've even heard about them attacking and taking chunks out of oscars and JDs. If you want something with an exoskeleton, go with cherry shrimp instead  |

They are too smart to get caught, even though the crawfish always tries to catch them. The lovably-dumb corys will be eaten in an instant.  I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |
