Red Lobster & Fishes

Hi all, I am new in this forum and hope to learn more about care and maintaining fishes from this forum.

First up, I have got this tank in my office. (office aircon only 7am to 7pm)




The red lobster actually ate up 3 of my fishes over the long weekends running from CNY.

Any fishes that I can put into the tank that the lobster wont eat?

Looking at fishes that is aggressive but can fit my tank (as in hunt for food etc, like catfish).

Nt too sure about my tank size.. Appreciate it!

hm... crayfish and fishes... alittle hard to find any fishes that actually wont get attacked especially when they are sleeping as crayfish are nocturnal.

Also, as your tank size is very small, I'll reckon when the crayfish moult, the fish might in turn attack the crayfish. So my suggestion is just keep either species.

hmm.. I am intending to add in a pair dwarf puffers and cory?

Will the water be suitable?

I'll say they are more resiliant than your current fishes, but there's no guarantee. So try at your own risk.

What you need to note is that, with such a higher bioload, you may want to consider changing water once every 3-4 days, 30-50% change. Also, note that most dwarf puffer does not take dried food easily and you will need minimally frozen meat for it.

sure. tks ! any idea where i can get both of the above mentioned fishes from?

Yishun block 618 or clementi block 328 (2 shops) should be able to provide both of them
