    Question Blue lobster 4" & Bamboo shrimp 3"

    My question is, would they live in the same large tank together as well as having other fish in the tank like cories, plecoes etc. etc. Cheers Laurie

    The crayfish (Blue Lobster) may try to prey on your fish at night. Crayfish are omnivorous and will eat just about anything. If it can catch it.... it will eat it.

    With that being said... smaller, quicker fish (e.g. tetras/rasboras) may be fickle enough to avoid predation.

    Best regards,

    Mine have been getting along fine so far. It's been 4 months and the white clouds were introduced when they were babies - less than 1cm (See what's in my 46 Bow Front below).

    But yes, you might wake up n find fish missing one day...
