Blue Lobster

I saw the most Adorable blue lobster and wondering if anyone else has them and if they are hard to care for?

I've been suggested Shrimp before but I'm just wary of crustaceons. Are they harder to care for and are Shrimp and lobster about the same about of ummm "work" to care for or TOTALLY different?

FW crustaceans vary in their care needs. Craydads (that includes the blue 'lobster') have similar needs to most fish--clean water, shelter, and food. The problem is that they often few any fish tankmates as food.

so I guess Cories would not be ok around a lil blue guy eh? If that's the case then I'll nix him and just stick to my swarm.

Bottom dwellers in particular are a bad mix with them--anything that spends most of it's time or sleeps near the bottom tends to be torn up and killed over time.
