Nice to meet ya!

[mysticriver]

I am in the same boat as Ashleigh (no pun intended, lol)
as far as not being new to fish, knowing the basics, and trying to learn more. I have a 20 gal. tank with some platies, barbs, one old red eye tetra, a cory, and a blue lobster. I am happy to have found a fish website to join, and I hope to be able to learn a lot. I have made a couple of posts in the breeding forum and live bearers forum, if anyone is able to help me out there I would appreciate it.

btw, is there a live chat forum here?

I am also in college, studying prereq's for nursing- hoping to transfer to nursing school soon.

I am married (anniversary also in Sept. , congrats) with three beautiful chidren, of course I am not bias, they really are beautiful as are all children.lol

Good to meet you all! *SUNSMILE*

Nice to meet you too

We usually chat on AIM ... Ill let someone else give you their SN cos my account is being protected from hackers! LOL

Just curious - how is that blue lobster doing with your fish?

 

[mysticriver]

Thank you, Angelfish.

It does well.. I have had a few mysterious deaths and half eaten bodies found, but mostly he hides in his cave during the day and is out at night. I try to keep him well fed with carnivore wafers. He doesn't seem to try to catch or attack the fish, especially since they seem comforatable enough with him to swim through his cave every once in a while. I think he feeds on the fish after they die.

Thanks Ashliegh.

 

[theeyrietrainer]

welcome to the tank mysticriver! are you sure its not a crayfish/crawfish/crawdad and not a lobster? lobsters get huge and only a few species are freshwater while the others are saltwater. ive seen blue crayfish before..just wondering!

Welcome.

hi, i'm new, too- to the site, but definately not to the hobby.

 

[mysticriver]

No, unless the petstore is lying about what they sold me, I am pretty positive that it is a blue lobster. Does the tank size affect the growth of the lobster?

 

[levia7han]

I tell you what.

We have those here too. But they are really blue crayfish. They just call them lobseters. I guess if you called them Blue crayfish then people would wonder why they are 20 some bucks. When you can go to the bate store and get one for like 20 cents.... just not blue

Good point, but how big do crawfish get? I have no idea. He's pretty big, I guess about 6 inches long or so, with his tail curled, and btw about 3-4 inches tall.
