So this was my attempt to feed my fresh water lobster and turtle by hand. Due to my camera handiwork, i would consider 81% of the video an epic fail :D Dont laugh at my algae in my tank. You will make it feel bad heh.

If you reply on the video via youtube i will have to approve it so the comments stay friendly.

LOL great video. I like how that big goldie just grabs food out of the turtle's mouth.

Very cool tank, does the lobster have any special requirements?

I don't think a turt hand will stand a chance agenst a crab claw. Are you worried

Steve, not that I know of. I have had the lobster for a few months, and I just feed it once a day, various things like fish, and 1 or 2 pieces of hard cat food (potato and fish).

Kerby, so far the turtle and the lobster keep their distances. Even though the claw looks menacing, there is not too much power in it.

if there is ever any hint that the two can not coincide, I'll separate the two. Looking to get a bigger tank soon anyhow.
