 Re: Mantis Shrimp-Another Great Myth Busting Artic
well, when I got the second big load of live rock I talked to the guy there about my mantis. He showed me some. Took him out with his hand to feed them. He showed me his normal tanks where there are mantis shrimps in every single one of them. He feeds them like he feeds his corals and they have never harmed a fish or anything in his tanks. He sais, sometimes a snail disappears, but not often.
But that could be because of the kind of mantis there are in the area their rock comes from.
the only problem I have is that I still don't know, where he is (or where they are). Nothing got killed in my tank, not even a snail or a hermit. I think I saw one the other day. In the same hole where a big porcelain crab lives. I'll watch that hole carefully. This would be a good spot because it's in the front very easy to access and so I can feed it easily.
ah, right, and there are shrimps running around that area all the time. They sit under the same rock and the hole goes through, so they are pretty much sharing the hole. They don't seem to care either.
