And I am STILL super jealous of your mantis.

 

[Dana42078]

Haha no but it was broken lol...pretty sure he's getting used to the frozen krill....its soo0o0o funny when i feed the sixline and the corals mysis and brine he goes APE CRAZY....he's all in a panic trying to get the food running around all crazy....quite amuzing :mrgreen:

If u re watch the last vid. HE grabs it and hes trying to slide the food off with a pumping action. But he also had a good hold on the stick. Thats why he bashed it.

 

[Pwny]

he is looking sweet i cant wait for mine!

 

[Dana42078]

Well it looks like my sixline finally got to close to him. He has a big red mark on his side ....oh yea it looks like he got punched =(

He is still swimin around tho, but i doubt he will be able to recover from that kinda blow.

 

[ErinCahir]

Oh no!

 

[Dana42078]

6 line is gone...no where to be found. I suck at life... FML

In one way I want one, but in another if I wish for one, I might get it when I buy more rock and I don't want that. He looks interesting.

Very cool man. Makes me want to set one up in the future. Question, what is the average life span of mantis shrimp?

3-4 years but can be longer.....they've only been in capitivity so long....

couple shots i got today

 

[Dana42078]

Think he's gunna molt again.....which means he's still growing FAST....doesnt make sense...He's supposed to be maxed out in size. Gunna cut back on feeding.

 

[Dana42078]

This was lunch today.

(Something dies in the vid so if you dont have the heart to watch nature do its thing, move along)

I dont feed him much live stuff n e more. Mostly frozen krill. He still eats his share of hermits and hes killed 2 big turbos.....so hard to keep the tank clean. When i upgrade tanks ima put a algae scrubber on.
