This is a photo of my male Blue Knight Lobster. He's still a little guy, so he hasn't quite yet started to color up. He did, however, molt sometime over the past two days.

Kinda toying with submitting this for a POTM entry...

fome ppl say that blue crawfish r filter feeders and dont eat fish and i thought they ate fish like any other crawfish and ate fish so do they eat fish or lil microscopic stuff?

They will eat fish, they won't eat anything microscopic.

My blue crayfish eats guppies, ghost shrimp, picks at flakes that hit the bottom, algae tablets, and shrimp pellets. I was told to feed them anything sinking. I think they are more opportunistic when it comes to food than anything else. I would assume (s)he would also eat another cray if given the chance. I have seen my cray picking at the gravel like my shrimp do so I assume (s)he may be eating small stuff but I doubt it is microscopic.

Bamboo shrimp and Vampire shrimp are filter feeders despite their appearance.
