The crayfish sold as lobsters in fish stores make excellent pets...when kept in their own tank. I used to have one, and loved it, it was in a little 4 gallon or so (been a while so i don't remember exactly) hex tank. He'd hide under a little fake log, and come out and eat the sinking pellets. But, if you put one in with your other fish, if he can get at the fish, he will.

Definately keep them in their own tank. They maybe okay at first, but they get bigger and become good hunters of fish quick. Here's more info on them.

no i know all abouit crayfish
im talking about a full blown lobster

Red lobster; rock lobster? I would think that those would eat your fish worst than the blue crayfish/lobster.

You can have it in a species tank by itself like at restaurants... and then feed it fish for treats.

Besides, the full size lobsters are coldwater. The ones with claws atleast. Florida lobster are warmer water. But you would need a completely different tank and setup to house real lobsters.
