    hi lobster as in crayfish?

    they will eat anything trust me. no matter fish or shrimp if it can catch it will eat. not even the sponge on the sponge filter is spared.

    The love to eat plants but they are safe with shrimps, in fact the shrimps also rest on top of the crayfish

    crayfish will snatch up the food for the shrimp but because they are such messey eater, there are still enough to go around for the shrimp

    buy only dwarf crayfishes like the CPO crayfish otherwise they are going to grow big and eat up all your shrimps.

    Re: Lobster & Shrimps

    If you are planning to have crayfish, i would advise against having soil as your substrate (which many of us rearing shrimps has soil as base) because they love to dig and normally it will turn tremendously cloudy after, so far sand has worked the best for me.

    They practically eats everything they can get their claws on, so no worries about them not eating shrimp food, they are active at night and they normally will eat fishes when they are sleeping (they love cories), i would have no fear of shrimps because they are both nocturnal and shrimps are simply too fast for them.
