blue lobster...

[Anthony357]

I have a general question, I was wondering what the possibilities are (if any) of convertying my freshwater blue lobster, to be able to to live in my saltwater tank? is that even possible by like adding small amounts of saltwater to him to slowly get him aquainted to it? thanks!

I had one of them in my freshwater tank years ago. There were pretty cool, but my understanding of them is that they will not tolerate even brackish water, let alone salt water. It will kill them. Sorry. Guess you will have to keep more than one tank. :mrgreen:

Docs right.
Fresh water inverts cant handle salt water.Even low levels of salt would probable kill it.
