He is a big dude, how big is your tank again? Crayfish are very aggressive. I wouldn't be putting him in with other shrimp, or a small/medium CT.

Re: Neon blue lobster experience
I kept a crayfish once in with fish... The numbers went down quite quickly and also in the end he exploded/imploded for some reason... 
I was much younger with an overstocked tank and underfiltrated too!
So glad I'm doing things a little more by the book now.
I probably wouldn't recommend a crayfish/lobster but that may be due to the icky end mine came to...

Re: Neon blue lobster experience
The only ornamental crayfish allowed in the UK is cherax quadricarinatus.
Any cray will take resting fish, so they need to be in a species-only tank and you can only keep two (male and female) at most.
You will need an absolute minimum of a 3' tank, preferably 4' for two.
You need to research as they can have problems moulting, so the water needs to be optimum and have a source of calcium.

Re: Neon blue lobster experience
I think I'll pass on the lobster/cray fish it was just an idea. I want something that will help eat crap left behind by the fish and any alge that crops up AND not be eaten by my catfish?! I think a colony of adult Amano shrimp would be fine but finding them is rare and they are expensive. I thought about crabs but it seems most need to be able to come out of the water now and then. My set up doesn't really allow that at the mo.
