freshwater blue "lobster" (crawfish)

[PAWZnHOOVES]

Hi! i recently bought a freshwater blue lobster and i was wondering if anyone has any experience with them... it will live in a 125 gallon pond with another smaller crawfish, a baby turtle, and 4 goldfish that are on the larger size. my only concern is that it will attack one of the other inhabitants...does anyone know about their behaviour? plz help! thanks!

the blue lobster is a cray fish. it will be pretty much as mean as the crawdad, they will both try and snag fish if they are anywhere close to the right size. the turtle probably will also eat your fish when large enough.

well, i hav a crawfish in there now but he's like an OG he just sits there n chills n duznt bother n e one...but i just bought this one a few hours ago and he's a lil more active so thats y i'm worried. and my turtle im not so worried about b/c these goldfish r pretty big so by the time he gets big enough to eat them he'll prolly be herbivorous anyway...and plus i love my turtle so i wouldn't be as upset as i would about the crawfish...

Sorry to hear that Pawz :(
I've kept Blue Lobster (crayfish) before and they do tend to be quite aggressive towards fish so i'd only really keep them on their own. I've known people risk keeping them with their other fish and although they may start out ok it's not long before they turn their attention on the other inhabitants of the tank.
