Baby Blue Lobster + Red Cherry Shrimps

[milkton]

Hi, i just recieved 2 baby electric blue lobsters, and i know they should be in a bigger tank when they get bigger but for now they are about 2-3cm big and i was wondering if they would harm my 1-2cm baby cherries in my 2.5gallon tank.

If the answer is that they will harm my baby cherries, is it possible for me to feed them fish flakes for a week or so for them to not think that shrimp is food? I need help quick, because i dont know where i can put them!

HELP MUCH APPRECIATED!

In short.. Yes. The lobsters will eat your shrimps.

You should rehome one of them, and keep the other. Lobsters will predate each other as they mature. Depending on tank size and hiding places, you may be able to keep two.
