    Hey guys I'm new to all this fish keeping stuff and all and would like to know if it'd be alright to keep a freshwater lobster with my two rather small koi and some gold fish. Thanks in advance guys. Ohya i almost forgot to mention...I have a 80 gallon tank. Yup...

    While the general thinking for these is they won't bother large fish.I have heard people who have kept them say that they have in fact killed or injured fish while they are sleeping. Also I am not sure if you are aware of this but Koi get 3 feet long and really need at least 1000 gallon ponds or tanks.:cry:
