haha! acutally it's a crawfish, unless of course you had a freshwater dwarf lobster flown in from austraila, I suppose there are some sellers in the us too. I had one of those guys tho, and they are little punks. That crawfish crawled out of my feeder tank a few times, found him crawling around on the floor all dryed up, throw him back in the tank and a few min later he's having a goldfish for breakfast. It got too big for that tank tho, moved it to my 125gallon with a few gold piranahas and they chowed him a couple hours later!... oh well.
