basically cichlid r very aggressive type of fish. when other type of fish come into it's territorial it will become more aggressive. in your case u r telling that it having babes, the fish will try to protect the baby from other it will be more aggressive. U better have a separate tank for u red swamp lobster. when u put u lobster in cichlid tank there will be a lot of stress between the fish.
show some foto of u tank and the fish

Given the highly aggressive and predatory nature of the red swamp crayfish, it is very possible that they will try to attack and eat your blue lobsters, adults and infants alike.

I'm afraid that they don't stay 8 cm for long. Mine is no less than 6 inches long and reached its max size in three weeks. Once those red swamp crayfish reach maturity, your blue lobsters will become tasty snacks for them.
