I have a blue lobster/crayfish...there was a posting I wanted to answer about a female blue that has stayed upside down for weeks..If you read this, maybe will help some..I'm no expert by no means...
1...use aquarium salt not table salt..will help with nitrate levels and hold ammonia down
2....a blue lobster needs warm temps..72 degrees at least
3...she needs fish supplied for her diet
4.. Keep lighting dim..blue lights work for me..mine very active if no white lighting is used..my tank sits in the kitchen so if I'm there the lights from my lights will be ok for a period of time..remember..crawfish live in muddy areas..and dark places..
5...reach in and turn her over..or use a long handle ..non toxic object...to flip her..
6. Molting is natural and proves she is growing..she has to shed her skin..leave it in the tank..she will eat it..it's good for her skin maturity and growth
