lobster??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I don't think pressure is an issue I have kept American lobsters alive for days at work in a five gallon bucket during the colder months. I work on a commercial fishing boat and lobsters are a common by-catch. just thought it might be cool to set up like a north atlantic native tank. lobster, scallops, mussels, various crabs and some black sea bass. maybe even a codfish but I don't know how the cod would fare during the transition. seabass I have kept alive for private customers before so I don't see it being an issue and they are beautiful once they mature. they develop a large nuchal hump and some amazing electric blue colors. thanks for the input guys. I am going to keep it in consideration. when the time comes I am going to be torn between expanding my amazon stock or starting a new theme all together. if I buy a bigger house with a basement maybe my wife will let me have both. hahaha.
 
Nope I have not iive always had a little part of me inside that wanted a freshwater lobster/cray but apparently very soon its going to he prohibited to own or buy or transport one in my province :(.

My fish life is sparked up with Polys :)
 
I think Blue Spiny Lobsters are commonly kept. I saw one for sale today at a petco, apparently it attacked the lady catching it (missed seeing this :() and she was freaking out telling me that she thinks it is poisonous... :ROFL: she was clearly traumatized. Very cool looking lobster, looks like our Spiny lobsters on the west coast, but colorful.
 
i have only come across one blue american lobster in all my years of being a commercial fisherman and i ate that sucker!!! he was goooooooooooooood!!!!

I would go for the tropical "decorative" lobsters vs the cold water ones, generally you don't need a chiller for them.
