Blue Lobster/Crayfish Question
I have had my blue lobster/crayfish for 1 year. He lives in a 20gal tank. The filter system is an Eclipse. The tank contains a variety of freshwater, community fish and 3 recently purchased bamboo shrimp. He has taken up lots of his time digging around under the large decorative log I have in the tank and has made himself quite a home! He seems to be pretty placid as my Chinese algae eater and clown loach have moved in with him. He pretty much allows the algae eater to push him around.
Anyway....he's been doing really well and has molted many times. He's pretty big now! He's only ever grabbed one of his tanks mates to eat as a snack and that was when I first purchased him. I've been feeding him TetraMin Variety Wafters. He really seems to like them and he always rushes out to grab his share at feeding time. I was just curious if I should be feeding him anything else? Like I said he's being doing just fine, but I'm still curious if I should be offering him other food stuffs every now and then. Any advice would be appreciated. THANKS!

will give some new foods a try
Thanks to all for the advice. I'll certainly be trying out some new foods and I'm especially interested in seeing if my guy will eat zucchini!
veggie for my crayfish/lobster
I tried some cucumber! I figured the inside would fall apart so I gave my crayfish a piece of peel. I stuck it by his hiding spot and he appears to have eaten it. Zucchini was recommended but I didn't have any so this was my next best choice. Any thoughts on giving my crayfish/lobster carrots or some potato? I want to make sure I'm not going to give him something he shouldn't have! Thanks a lot!
