Sick fish???

Damsal in my tank with a mantis shrimp. Damsal is blue with a yellow tail. He's starting to get like white lines on his right side. 2 of them across his body. What is it? Is he sick?

 

Can you post a pic of it?




Luna

 

Yeah sounds odd.. get us a pic...

 

Couldn't get a good pic of the lil guy so i nabbed him and cupped him. Lol. They look white in the tank but out they're different. Any ideas?

 

Yeah........looks like your Mantis wants some sushi.

Is that from my mantis????

 

My best guess is yes. Luna

 

Haha. Poor little guy. I knew he'd get taken out eventually but i didn't think the violence would start so soon. Hmmmm

 

I was just reading up on the Mantis........They are the most intelligent arthropods around and can recognize different ppl and respond to them differently. A fully grown mantis can shatter the glass of most aquariums.......nice! And yes.....they do eat fish.

Ya. they're incredibly smart. Mine recognizes me and knows when he sees me it usually means food. If he's not hungry and i feed him, he just contently picks up the food i gave him and throws it out of his burrow. haha.
