Re: [GSAS-Member] Home Lobster Tank?

[matt kaufman <igotadose@hotmail.com>]

I put mine in a 3 gallon pot full of boiling water... works great (needs a lid 
when they try to climb out though.)
 
Otherwise, well, the only time I've ever heard of anyone doing this, they lived 
in the Florida Keys and had a tank plumbed out to the water with a pump (tight 
lid on the tank too) and changed the water with fresh seawater daily, like 
50-75%. Didn't feed the critter, just let it filter feed on whatever came in 
with the seawater.
 
I imagine a full sized lobster would be very challenging to keep as a pet. 
They'd like cold seawater with lots of oxygen in it and tricky food like 
plankton. 
And they're big
