[StirCrazy]

try putting your finger by the hole :wink:


you know, I probably could with this one.. he has never wacked at the feeding stick at all nor has he nailed any of the snails or hermits in the tank.. been a gentle mantis all around. but I would need a few more bottles of courage befor I could try that :eek:

[sumpfinfishe]

Wow great vid Steve! And I thought you were going "Loco" pointing that stick around in your tank on the weekend like a blind reefer :biggrin:

Great footage, and yes I'm with Deb on the hand feeding with sound footage as well :mrgreen:

Can you please tell me why all the trend lately with keeping Mantis shrimp though :confused:

cheers, Rich

[StirCrazy]

I don't know if it is a trend laitly.. when I built my stand over a year ago the intended use of the bottom tank was for a mantis.. just took me a lont time to find one.

I think the fasination is with the inteligence they have..

well for the last couple weeks I would be sitting on the couch watching tv and I would notice my tank go cloudy, upon closer inspection I found out why.. here is another movie. (as with the previous one download first the watch it.
