lobster tank mates

[nedge85]

I recently recieved a Fluval Ebi Nano 30l as a subscription gift as was planning to keep a "baby lobster" (what they are sold as lps, assured they grow no more that a few inches) and was wondering if its safe to keep shrimp with it? Or what everyone would recommend

Crayfish??? I would say no, since shrimp are small and can be eaten easily, but that's just me.

they do best in a species-only tank.
They can and will attack any fish they can catch.

How would crabs fair, I know they're just as agro, but are they likely to kill each other.

Most crabs I know are brackish...is the lobster brackish? IDK, not an expert on inverts.

The crabs in my lps are sold, as fresh water (cold or tropic) and suggested guide is to have plenty of levels in tank, no fish, and no escape route. Just like the lobster/crayfish

Most are kept species only. If the fish are really fast they may survive for a little

No intention of fish in this tank
