The Cobalt Blue Lobster is a stunning addition to an aquarium. It is unusual in the fact that its colour will get better with age (although when it first arrives it may seem quite dull due to shipping).
They are territorial to their own kind and so a large aquarium is required to keep multiple specimens. Otherwise, they are generally peaceful and will not bother fish unless they are small and slow enough for the lobster to catch.
Species – Blue Lobster: Cherax Quadricarinatus
Current Size – 4cm
Adult Length – 12cm
Temperature Range – 18 - 24°C
pH Range – 6.5 – 8.0
Special Requirements - They require plenty of hiding spaces. In some peoples tanks, these Crayfish lose their Blue Colour or it comes and goes. We are not sure what triggers these colour changes unfortunately.
Tanks Mates and Compatibility – They are hardy and peaceful although you should avoid small slow tank mates, if they catch it they will eat it.
Feeding – They are great scavengers and will eat detritus and waste food. Supplementary wafers or pellets should be given where necessary and they should be rich in calcium.
Please note – Some images used are library photos and will show the colour potential at a fully mature size, as our fish are juveniles they may vary.
We always aim to supply the fish as close to the purchase size as possible. On rare occasions if this is not possible we will contact you.
The fish are selected at random however you are welcome to make a note on the order and the fish manager will do his best for you, requests are dependent on stock at the time of your order.
