Feeding my lobster

[Fishfan321]

I was wondering what fresh food I could feed my electric blue lobster/ crayfish. He loves potatoes.

They are omnivores and require both veggies and meats.

Mine will eat just about any veggie piece I toss in, and I occassionally give her a small sliver of shrimp.

I feed mine sinking spirulina pellets and New Life Spectrum sinking pellets and Hikari shrimp mineral pellets.

I feed veggies at a two to one ratio over protien and only one small piece a day.

She lives in a tank at my office, which is why I keep commercially prepared foods, just for the convenience or I'd probably just feed her fresh or frozen food only.

Thanks for the great info

Yeah, there isn't a lot of good info out there on these crays.

It took me forever to piece together real info on how to care for one.

Is yours housed with fish?

How long have you had it?

 

[Fishfan321]

Yes a butterfly cichlid and a melanochromis auratus, plus a pleco

 

[Fishfan321]

I've had it for a month

 

[mudraker]

Wow, have you had any aggression issues between the fish and lobster?

 

[Fishfan321]

Nope I have a lot of rocks and he is really big.
