Thoughts on small lobster?

[Cory Johnson]

I really like the small blue lobsters. I'd like to get one but not sure how well they get along with the community of pleco, tetra, bamboo shrimp and corycats.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Some are worse than others, but they will opportunistically eat other tank inhabitants. Also (as someone on this board reminded me when I asked about dwarf marble crayfish a year ago), even though they're commonly offered for sale in the area, nearly every species of crayfish are against the law to keep in this state.

IIRC, a second infraction in 5 years is categorized as a Class C Felony...which seems rather severe.

Last I checked the laws still stood within the last few years. I had also wanted one.

I'm a bit late to the party, but yes - all american crays are banned. You can find details in this thread:

It's a shame...
