Impulse buy!!!!

Yes, mine sort of did something similar. There was a group of 5 and they did single one out of the group sometimes, not always. When I would find the dead ones, if I could that is, they usually looked pretty chopped up(not just a dead fish or normal decomposition). So, kind of just waiting till he finds the last one to have for dinner. I may try and put him in my 29 I'm starting soon, I have to partially break my 120 down to get some of the fish, rock and other things, we'll see. Good luck with your specimen, I hope he stays well behaved for you. On a side note, let me know if you notice any "clicking" at night time now. I have a few rouge critter in my tank, don't think it is a Mantis, but was just curious to see if they can "click" too.

I'll keep an ear out for that, cheers Matt, although it's my Banggai Cardinals that do most of the clicking in mine!!!
 
I thought about getting a lobster once, that lasted about 5 minutes when I heard the catch phrase... keep them well fed and you shouldn't have a problem. Personally that line scares me. We tend to go on weekend trips to Disney World and I dont feed my tank or have anyone come over, because it is just 2 days and with my luck I would come home and someones belly would be full and I would have one less fish friend!

More power to you CPD, I am glad to hear that things are going well so far.
