Other Turtle Discussion :: VIDEO: Update on RES, Lobster, Pleco, Fish

[Ant]

I lost a few fish overnight here and there, but things are as good as they can be with the community. Turtle getting too big for the tank so an upgrade is in the near future. Lobster has molted twice, not sure how much bigger it will get.

Looks good. How big were the missing fish? What does the lobster normally eat?

Heya Steve,

The missing fish were small, 'red eyed tetra's'. The lobster eats pretty much anything I put in there. It likes hard cat food (made of shrimp and vegetables) which is good because it sinks right to the bottom, Actually all the creatures in the tank eat that, including the bigger goldfish which can swallow it whole. Once in a while I see him gnawing on some of the wood in there, not sure if he eats it or is playing 'tough guy'.

The lobster also eats pieces of catfish from the freezer, sticks of turtle food, peas, TURTLE POOP (which is very helpful). It actually eats from my hand now.

Once in a while the RES and the Lobster will have a tug-o-war with the frozen fish, but they do not bite each other. I'll have to video that too.

I think we'd like to see that too!
