Hi...

I adopted (sp) a blue lobster, could somebody tell me what to feed him. I will have it in a tank by it's self, cause he or she has already ate some of my fish (my puffers).

Thanks,
Sugarcookie

Specialized diet will depend on what specific species you have. But generally, try sinking pellets, carnivore pellets, algae waffers, shrimp (cooked, uncooked or frozen may contain WSSV which will become fatal when contracted), fish (as you've seen), vegetables, etc.

They eat anything you put in the tank (living-wise) they'll eat snails, fish, plants.

Pellet-like food, I have no idea. I would think some sinking pellets would do, but it might not go for them.

Wait until someone who keeps them comes along : ]

I give mine a cooked grain of rice once in a while....

Shrimp pellets tend to be the food of choice. I alternate between a shrimp pellet and (of all things) a pellet of rabbit food. Gets his veggies that way.

My guy loves Crab Pellets, Algae Wafers.... Blood Worms, Processed Peas, the odd bit of chicken..... Strangely enough he hates prawns and shrimps.....
