Different breeds of Lobsters

[vivid]

Wonder if i post in the right sub forum...if wrongly post sorry to the admin team.

Just wondering as i am new in this hobby .....beside red and blue lobsters that are found in sg farms are there any other lobsters breed selling in sg?? As i am a keen lobster fan, if so can anyone tell me more and where to get them as i been to jalan kayu, OTF, clementi near the MRT and marine parade nature aquarium and all sell the same thingy.....thanks for your comments

You are in the correct forum. However, I would refrain from calling them lobsters as lobsters are saltwater crustaceans while these are freshwater creatures. They are more appropriately called crayfish, crawfish or crawdad.

Red and blue ones are the most commonly found, which is why you see them quite often. I am also pretty certain there are more species that you can find in the LFS from time to time, but as I am not personally into crayfish, I will leave to others to confirm this.

You may also wish to do a search (top right hand corner) as there were some previous discussions on crayfish which may be useful.

Happy crayfish keeping!

Crayfishes can be quite destructive in planted tanks. Perhaps that's why the folks here don't really keep them. Also, they are predatory and can hunt smaller fishes sometimes, despite they deceivingly slow movement.

I know this chap with the nick lobsterman and he used to have loads of them. He hangs out at arofanatics.com. Perhaps you can look him up.
