Freddy's 10 Gallon Mantis Shrimp Nano-Reef

[FreddytheFish]

Well, apart from the damsel (and probably the hermits), I've mostly been feeding shrimp pellets, but am trying to feed a variety, so I've also used frozen shrimp so far. I'm going to pick some ghost shrimp up soon for him, and as soon as my new guppy batch is a good size, they'll be food too. I'm also gonna pick up some different frozen foods at the store.

Oh, and yo, that picture seems to be a general favorite.

Be careful (don't feed him a finger tip).

Awesome!

That looks really really nice I was just wondering tho, what is that Green/purple thing in the back ground of your last two shots? (I want one!)

 

[FreddytheFish]

Those would be green star polyps. I'll try to get some close up shots of them for ya.

BTW, watching him take down a ghost shrimp is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, he's so good that when I plop them in sometimes he'll get them before they touch the substrate, and its so fast....

I'm thinking about taking a video and putting it on YouTube. It'd be crappy quality, but....

That is the most amazing shrimp i've ever seen. Beautiful color. I love it!
