i was just wondering if anyone has kept polys with electric blue lobsters before or will the lobster mess with the bichirs?
 
When the lobster molts and its new shell is soft it will become an expensive meal.
 
yeah i know that for sure- my cichlids ate one last year. i was thinking since he is too big to fit in the polys mouths he might be fine? you dissagree? last time my smaller cichlids picked the lobsters eyes out so i felt bad for it an threw him in the big boy tank so they would just finish him quick. my 14 in jag female an 13 in male snakeskin flower horn ate him up with a quickness.
 
no one has any more imput on this subject?????????
 
I feel like most poly's could probably down a crayfish. What kind(s) are you considering?
 
i am growing out a del (5 inchs) an ornate (6inchs) an 2 palmas butterkofferi sp gold dust (5 inches)- they blue lobster is probably 4 or so inches an fat. what do you think- my other option is a cichlid tank-thats where the lobster is now- they are mostly juvie red hump geos- a few baby red terrors an a 5 inch male acarathei heckeli. oh an a syno angelicus 7 incher. so what do yall think i have the best chance of survival in the bichir tank or the cichlid tank?
 
i feel like those will all eventually get big enough to eat him. The ornate will probably get big enough to try first though (think i remember that they're supposed to have fast growth rates for bichirs)
 
yeah i am just thinking its a better option than a tank with cichlids
