    Default are fw blue lobsters okay with oscars?

    hi, I am wanting to add a blue lobster to my tank, I have two 6" oscars and a 6" jack dempsey that may cause problems

    I don't believe the lobster would fit in any of their mouths, but I know the oscars will try anyways. I have looked online and there seems to be a few different species of fw blue lobsters/crayfish. The ones I have found at the LFS are said to grow to 5" and are currently over 3". Is it ok to mix these? Thanks

    The lobster will eventually become food for your Oscar.

    The oscars and dempsey would make a snack of the blue lobster.. It won't fit in their mouth whole, but it will in pieces

    Dang, that's not what I wanted to hear! Those little critters are so cool

    I am trying to give the oscars are jack dempsey away because they are going to be too big for my 70g soon, then maybe I will get my blue lobster

    It might be okay for awhile, Until the lobster molts. But then he's toast.
