I contacted somebody on craigslist and they said "bought it as an Australian Blue Lobster. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it looks similar to an Electric Blue Lobster. I have 2 babies left, but they're so small I'm unable to take a good picture" he's offering me two babys for five dollars. I know the species isn't very specific but do you think they would be compatible with my two tiger oscars? I've heard you have to give them a lot of places to hide and such. What about feeding? Thank You - Johnny

Yeah, oscars will eat them without a doubt. They eat just about anything that fits into their mouth
they are most likely the austalian blue yabbie. they are a dark blue wilth red yoints and red tipped claws
Possibly a Blue Marron, quite an awesome fw crayfish from my part of Australia.

This is a little off topic, but this thread reminded me of something. My LFS today had a white crayfish. It was by far the coolest crayfish I have ever seen.
OK I'm done being off topic now.
