im not really sure what species they are.. i only know they are called red, white, and blue lobsters at lfs lol. these guys doesnt really do too much damage to my fish population in my tank. only the sewerilla loaches were eaten in the past year.

nice, there are quite rare here too. I just happen to chance upon 1. It was in an abandoned tank below which everrybody has forgotten and i just happen to look down and saw 2 of them. Only got 1 at that time since my tank is still small though. PS : How do you make bloodworm sink? I feed them Hikari FD ones and they float

I love the way rope fish eat, it reminds me of the way a dog chomps on thier food.... The crays lingering around like that would freak me out...

@Spirit.. the bloodworms he's feeding are frozen worms.. they just sink when thawd out..
