Lol just recorded this, mantis shrimp is checking out the new clown fish that my friend gave me after his tank mates tried to kill him...

That clown has a dismal looking future.

Cheaper foods are out there.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Are you just trying to keep them both exercising?
All I see is a stressed-out clown and the potential for ich or something worse.
Not my first choice for tank-mates in a nano.
Good luck with your 'experiment'
( poor clown )

The clown is stressed out because of the pair of clowns my friend had that tried to kill it, its fins were already wreck from when he bought it at the store i was with him then.

He was gonna flush it when his gf said give it to me so i took it, better then living in the septic tank right? lol.

who said anything about a experiment? its the mantis tank - clown will either live from its fight before it came to me or become dinner for bristle worms lol

I think you might have more laughs if you post it on face book or twitter.
Everyone on this forum knows that mantis will kill and eat the clown.

If you really would want to help this fish you wouldn’t keep these two together.
This is irresponsible, higher species with evolved consciences do not behave like that.
Would you keep a cat and a mouse in one enclosure? Or dog and a cat?

you really think 1 i care... food is food, nature is nature, and i have kept this mantis in my display tank before i shut it down for almost the entire time i had it and never once did a fish die.

if i was really worried about it dying it wouldnt be in there, and if it does die it aint hurting anyone. it was gonna die either way. just like me and you are too.

the video wasnt posted for lawls, it has never mad an attempt at the fish once, in the video it was going after the krill cuz it knows it eat when it sees the tweezers

honestly, if you think this is bad dont make me post videos on youtube of people feeding mice to pirhanas etc.. and i dont think thats bad... its the sadistic ways of nature, animals dont hug.

funny thing to if this was a puffer eating a mantis shrimp people would laugh.

i dont know why you guys are crying, there is no harm happening to anything in the video.
