Hey all
Just caught my second mantis out of my 100g.
Very cool and fascinating animals.Very destructive also.
Lost numerous snails and critters due to them.
My first one went to my red ear slider.
My second one,about two inches long, went to my snowflake eel.
He swallowed him whole........................................

Too bad you didn't save one. There are folks on these boards who would have crapped their pants at the chance to buy one off of you.

He got increasingly brave and would come out all the time.
I think I lost an inch and a half hi fin red banded goby to him.
I was kinda hoping my lionfish would've munched him.
Just kept stinging .
Eel had no qualms.

How's the tank going Trigger? Haven't seen you around in a LONG time.

Which one?
I have three...

The one you kept dumping fish into that kept dying. I recall you lost quite a few in the beginning. Hopefully that problem has become a bit more managable by now.

Wow they go from slip to you.

 

[Corax]

indeed they did. guess he had other things to take care of, so it left a void that someone had to fill. =) anywho, welcome back to the board..

So whatcha stocking these days? I agree, feeding that shrimp to an eel was a tragic loss. Many people dedicate entire tanks to those guys. I can see the need to eradicate it though, they can indeed be a major pain.
