would a small cobalt blue lobster be ok with 2 oscars in a 55 gallon?? or would the oscars try and eat him???

thanks

How big are your Oscars?

If they are big enough to fit even part of that lobster in their mouth, it's probably going to be a target for them both.

Remember - Oscars are almost hardwired to target aquatic inverts like shrimp, crayfish, yabbys and small lobs.
Oscars can be surprisingly patient and incredibly persistent - especially when you're talking about live food!!
I'm sorry to steal the wind outta your sails, but eventually one of them will suceed in making a meal outta it.

If you intend to try, make sure the Lobster has a few good solid hideouts.

**Warning!!** - Your Oscars will probably injure themselves trying to get to that Lobster.
