  • Keeping a grocery store lobster as a pet is not as easy as it seems, but it's very rewarding! In this video we set up a huge 265 gallon aquarium and then go to the market and get a lobster or two!
    I can't wait to introduce Pancake to Waffle!

    Just to clarify, the plan is not to put all three in the same tank (it never was). Toast is going in a separate tank. The plan is to put Pancake in the large tank with Waffle, under very close observation. Dungeness crabs and lobsters co-exist in the wild and they don't hunt each other unless they are extremely hungry (search "Lobster vs Crab" to observe). When Waffle is satisfied, which the plan is that she always will be, she is timid even with worms.
    If you go to a commercial aquarium you will see multiple different kinds of predatorial sea creatures (sharks, stingray, etc.) happily coexisting with each other, this is the goal with Pancake and Waffle.

      Thank you all for joining me on this journey, I appreciate the feedback and understand the concerns. I think it's awesome how many of you care about the well being of these creatures :)
      This tank is 265 gallons, almost twice as big as Leon's, so they will both have plenty of space, however if they appear hostile or stressed I will put a divider between them.

      Dungeness crab, cancer magister, are found in the Pacific Ocean from Alaska to California. American lobster, homarus americanus, are found in the Atlantic ocean on the east coast of Canada and the U.S. they aren't found within 1,000+ miles of each other.

      Naaaahh... Tropical freshwater crayfishes and shrimps are much more colorful and easier to house, keep and even breed in captivity. They don't have the planktonic larval stage of American Lobsters, and freshwater aquaria are less expensive and generally much easier to manage. Plus they won't outlive their keeper as American Lobsters do.

      Brady Brandwood (his UA-cam channel) wanted to see what it was like to have a grocery store lobster. He did a lot of research and actually helped save the lobster. His video gained millions of followers with Leon’s story. The whole thing was huge and people are trying to do the same thing. But, a lot of people are doing it for the clout than to actually take care of the lobsters. So it’s sending poor care tips to people watching those videos sadly.

    as big as that tank is i am not certain it is big enough to house not just 2 lobsters but a crab too, without them coming into conflict, the american lobsters, lobsters of the family nephropidae which waffles and toast are part of are very much solitary creatures, only coming together during mating season, most (if not all) species of crab are more social, but that doesn't mean they will get along with 2 lobsters, some people when intent on keeping more than one lobster in the same tank will put a net up to divide the space. but i tend to think that separate tanks are the best. obviously this doesn't apply to smaller specias like those clams and sea snails which are no threat to either crab or lobster and are generally none intrusive. but if you watch brady's videos with Leon, the lobster was really bothered by those little killi fish.

    Caring for a single Lobster in this tank would be fine, You can see how well Waffle has adapted to the tank, with her excavations and rearranging of the sand and ornaments, she really likes the environment and is making it her home, the exploration is a good indicator of healthiness and willingness to eat is too.
    When you add the smaller Lobster and the Crab this peacefulness will be broken, it will be a constant fight for food and territory and they will all stress each other out, everytime they meet in the tank it will be an issue there is just simply not enough room.
    Keep them all separated and you will have 3 happy pets, put them together and you may be left with one and if stress gets the better of it they will all die.

      @ Nitro GamePlay I don't agree, and I've extensive experience keeping decapod crustaceans as a hobbyist and as a trained biologist.
      An American Lobster that is in a good environment remains under cover during much of the day. Sustained wandering and digging DURING THE DAY are signs of extreme stress and efforts to escape or dig a suitable shelter! They are the opposite of indications that a lobster is comfortable in its' habitat!
      Homarus Lobsters are normally active mainly at night, when they venture from their daytime retreats and search for food, and in the case of adult breeding males, attempt to track females by pheromones. After finding prey and eating their fill (they are both scavengers and predators, but unlike most crayfishes, eat little plant material), they retire to their homes.
      The big risk in housing powerful predatory crustaceans together is with cannibalism of molting and post molt individuals. Crayfish farmers use commercial feeds fortified with calcium to reduce this problem, but some cannibalism still occurs. In their planktonic larval stages, Homarus lobsters are intensely cannibalistic. This declines as they reach adulthood, but they have no qualms about eating conspecifics that have recently shed and are outside of shelter. I've seen too many aquarium stores with crayfish tanks containing carcasses of recently molted individuals that had their appendages eaten off as they were fatally squeezed by the pincers of often food and calcium deficient tankmates; a pitiful sight!

    First: Please give the Lobster a real cave so that you can't see in the cave from above. Lobsters are NOCTURNAL, so they want a DARK cave.
    Second: You shouldn't keep Lobsters with other Lobsters or crabs and even for more then one lobster this tank is too small.
    Third: Please look up how their NATURAL HABITAT looks like (they come from the east coast of Kanada), so there aren't corals. There are lot of rocks and stones and algeas / sea weed, etc.

Octopus need a seasoned aquarium. The tank should be up for a few months before you add one. Make sure there isn’t any copper in the water. Also drip acclimate all invertebrates to prevent death by temperature and salinity change.

They either suffocate, overheat under the sun, or are easy prey for many enemies if trapped in tide pools. They readily crawl overland to escape small volumes of water; in a house, this means they die in a corner far from the tank that housed them. They can squeeze through any opening large enough for their very pliable eyeballs to pass. They are also very strong for their size, and can lift weighted tank covers with ease. They will also stop filer/aeration systems by moving tubes in their efforts to escape, suffocating themselves or poisoning themselves with an ammonia spike as a result.
      Octopuses don't get bored without concealment in their tanks, they are severely stressed if unable to hide, because this reaction is adaptive, and forces them to find or construct hiding places from their many enemies in the wild. They are also far more intolerant of poor water quality than American Lobsters and Dungeness Crabs. I can see that you've never kept or tried to keep octopuses in aquaria!

For example, if you see a horse and it's so skinny that you can count its ribs, you might take that horse home, give him a healthy diet and a big field to run in. Josh is taking them and bringing them home to abuse them on the Internet just so he can make money off of their suffering. I mean, he almost killed pancake right after getting it because he didn't know how to set up the tank. Then he wanted to get a lobster to put in the same fucking aquarium. Once one starts molting, the other will see its chance to go commit a homicide. He does ZERO research on anything, he never thinks for a even a moment about what's good for the animals, he just does things and hopes for the best. If you want to see someone who has rescued an animal, go look up Leon the lobster. It's this but actually done right.
      And you clearly either haven't watched all of Josh's videos or you weren't paying attention to them, otherwise you'd see exactly what I'm talking about, kid.
      And as far as boiling them alive goes, first off, you have no idea if they feel pain when it happens. They very likely do, but you can't really prove it. Also, they likely die very fast. If you imagine a human being boiled to death, it would be easily one of the most brutal deaths possible. But we also weigh at least a hundred times what they do. Most crabs and lobsters are about a pound or two, which means that the hot water will warm their core temperature up to a fatal temperature MUCH faster than it will a 200 pound human. It's possible that it could be a painful end to their life, but it's going to be a very brief suffering time. And, most importantly, they're fucking delicious with butter, thank you very much.

    It is so sweet you got a lobster!
    Because everytime we went to the store,
    We saw poor little lobsters being sold.
    My mom has always been wanting to save those lobsters!
    So it is so sweet you got a lobster and took care of it! ❤️

    Umm, they're going to fight. The bigger one, Waffles, is going to kill them all, unless she gets molten when you put them all together. People been saying that. Sadly, it shows that Josh doesn't read the comments...
