Red Lobsters...pls help

[loly]

Hi

i had two red freshwater lobsters on wednesday. i put them in my tank. they went straight into two seperate hiding places. they seemed fine when i put them in. next day one was on the sand upside down, after work the other one on my plant upside down. what could cause these deaths.

Any number of things... transition shock, improper water requirements (like pH, temperature, too much metal in the water, etc), sickness, stress. There's really a lot of things that could have caused them to die... if they both died so close together, I'm inclined to lean towards a transition shock where they couldn't properly acclimate to their new home. But that's just a guess.
