Just my own warped little mind operating on it's own here; but could a lobster of any size seriously catch a healthy mid-top water fish? Even my betta is screaming fast compared to the fastest crawfish i've seen...

well, crawfish cant be with any bottom dwelling fish, but i guess it can be with top because it cant really swim

yep lots of us keep these creatures. some even in community's!

Tank size is quite species dependent, but if you think most cray will grow to 8 inches or more, 20ukg is a minimum imo. my advices would be 30ukg +.

food well that seems easy. just about any thing, peas, cucumber, fish flake, shrimp pellets and anything else you care to try.

all cray are more than fast enough to catch any fish, anyone who has tried to pick one up will testify to that.

as for community living... some of us do that too. however this takes lots of thought and planning, and is not for the faint hearted.

there are a few pictures on my setup, on this site. if you feel you need more help give me a pm!
