Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone had any Idea how to take care of baby lobsters. they've been hatched for about a month now and seem just fine. the thing that concerns me the most is how I'am going to get rid of them all (there are 23) the pet store said they would take them, but for now they are really little (about an 1/4 of an inch long). I need to get another tank set up so I can remove a handful of them wow! that's going to be stressful. The parent lobster's concern me as well they fight among each other but won't attack the babies. If any one has any suggestions it would be appreciated.
thanks!
I'am not sure of thier specific species, but they are called "red lobster's" they are fresh water and look like rock lobsters [/FONT]

Boiling water followed by butter and garlic sauce.

Are they those tiny fresh water ones that are about several inches long when they mature? I think they're called crawdads, not sure of the scientific name, though.

crawdads are a different recipe entirely, sorry for the confusion.

Use a high protien flake food,cichlid flakes are good about 46% have good ground cover (hollow ceramics,plastic decoration they can hide in etc.)on the tank bottom for when they need to moult,they will grow fast.Should be ready to go in about a month if you keep tank temp 76 to 80.
congrats and good luck.
