Hi guys,
I had a lot of ticking sounds from my tank in the last couple of weeks since adding the live rock, some here said it could be a mantis shrimp. Couldn't sight it.
I can't find any of the hitch hiker snails that the rocks came with and now very few amphipods left, is it a result of the tank cycling or were they eaten by the mantis?
The clicking has stopped in the last couple of days. I havn't been feeding the tank anything in these weeks, as I have no fish in there atm. How long can a typical (small) mantis live for with out food? Have I managed to starve it? Or would it have died during the cycling process?
Thanks in advance.
AyeAye
