Vanilla lobster and knifefish?

[Abaddon_Osiris]

Hi all, here, both to the hobby and to this forum. I was wondering if a 'vanilla lobster' could cohabit a tank with 2 bgks? They are still small, but I'll be moving them from the 75 gallon to something more suitable when they're a bit larger. Could a lobster be added afterwards, or is it a recipe for disaster? I know I'm already pushing it by having two bgks together, so I don't want to overstock or select any inappropriate tankmates.

If not, is there an alternative crustacean that would work?

I wouldn't risk combining the 2 species. Both Crayfish aka Lobster and the BGK like to rest in between nooks and crannies and if Crayfish finds the small BGK it will due major damage to the KnifeFish
