THE AMAZING HAWAIIAN MICRO-LOBSTER AQUARIUM

These gentle sociable Micro-Lobsters, or Opae-ula as they are known in Hawaii, are the perfect pets and a celebration of the beauty, nature, and the spirit of Hawaii! Opae-ula are an extraordinary endemic Hawaiian creature with a documented life span of over 20 years.

The tanks are easy care, portable desktop units that are ideal for homes, offices and schools.
Micro-Lobsters were only scientifically identified in 1963. The porous lava rock in the landscape is ideal for bacterial habitats. The bacteria converts waste into carbon dioxide and algae nutrients. Algae create oxygen and both algae and bacteria are food for the Micro-Lobster.

Some who see our Micro-Lobsters think we have a different species as ours are much larger and very active. They have adorable personalities.

We provide an optimum environment and feed premium Spirulina powder. They love it and they are enjoyable to watch as they rise to the surface to feed.

CARE:
The cover should be loosened to allow air to get inside the aquarium. If the water begins to evaporate over time, gently pour distilled water into the tank until it fills up again.

They like temperatures between 60 and 85 degrees. Give them moderate room lighting. If any algae growth blocks viewing, simply use a cotton swab to clean the inside surface, leaving the residue inside.

FEEDING:
A small pinch of Spirulina powder (only one-half of a toothpick tip) can be given to them every three or four days.

Dan’s Green House and its associates are committed to education, conservation, and research including the study of reproduction and the creation of mass culture systems to assure that Opae-ula will always be available. We make premium Micro-Lobster food available to improve the health of Opae-ula.!
